around to lower angle of preopercle (this portion of the line violet) and past it, thence to base of

122. Macropharyngodon geoffroy (Quov & Gaimard). “ Hinalea Akilolo.” 
Five examples of this beautiful fish were taken. They measure 3.5, 4.2, 4.2, and 4.75 inches in 
length. This was thought to be a new species by me, but recently having access to Voy. Uranie, 
Zook, containing Quoy & Gaimard’s description and figure based on a specimen taken at Maui, there 
remains no doubt that my specimens are of their species.
