REPORT ON FISHES COLLECTED IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 
461 
This is one of the most beautiful of the brilliantly colored fishes seen at Honolulu. It is fairly 
common. I obtained 10 examples in 1889 from 7 to 10.5 inches in length, and 2, each 6.4 inches, 
were taken by the Albatross in 1896.

125. Julis lepomis (Jenkins). 
One specimen of this beautiful fish, 17.5 inches in length, was taken by me. Description in paper 
referred to below. 
Coris lepomis Jenkins, Bull. U. S. Fish Comm, for 1899 (August 30, 1900), 48, fig. 4, Honolulu. (Type, No. 12141, L. S. Jr. 
Univ. Mus.; coll. O. P. Jenkins.) 
126. Julis eydouxii Cuvier & Valenciennes. 
Color in life (field No. 256, 11.3 inches long), upper parts dark brown, lower parts pink; a band 
running along back just below base of dorsal fin, beginning on head behind vertical from posterior 
border of eye, running on to caudal, wavy and blue in front, nearly white posteriorly; a yellowish-white 
band becoming blue posteriorly from tip of snout on ‘middle line on top of head to origin of dorsal, 
then running upon dorsal as a blue anterior margin; from this band just back of tip of snout, a band 
(one on each side) branching and running back just along upper margin of eye and ending at a vertical 
from fourteenth dorsal spine, blue in front and almost white posteriorly; another band blue in front, 
running from mouth along lower margin of eye through opercular flap, which has a blue spot, straight 
back to tail; this band dividing the upper brown color from the pink below; between these bands, the 
brown color on body gradually changing to red on the head; pectoral and ventrals pink; dorsal dusky, 
almost black, outer margin bluish-white; a conspicuous yellow longitudinal band along the central 
portion of the tin, anterior portion with a black spot on second spine and membrane between second 
and third spines; caudal tin outer margin and base white, between which is a broad black band; anal 
black, outer margin bluish-white. 
Six examples, from 6.6 to 11.3 inches in length, were obtained by me, and two, 10.75 and 12.75 
inches, by the Albatross. 
Julis eydouxii Cuvier & Valenciennes, Hist. Nat. Poiss., xm, 455, Sandwich Islands. 
127. Hemicoris baillieui (Vaillant & Sauvage). 
One specimen of this tish, 9.2 inches in length, which shows well the markings shown in Dr. 
Steindachner’ s ligure, is in Dr. Wood’s collection. 
Coris baillieui Vaillant & Sauvage, Rev. Mag. Zoo]., in, 1875, 285, Sandwich Islands. 
Coris schauinslandii Steindachner, Anzeiger, No. xvi, Denks. Ak. Wiss. Wien, June 21 (June 27), 1900, 177, Honolulu; 
Steindachner, Denks. Ak. Wiss. Wien, 1900, taf. v, fig. 1, 508, Honolulu. 
128. Hemicoris argenteo-striata (Steindachner). 
One specimen of this species was taken by Dr. Wood. My description of this tish was published 
before Dr. Steindachner’ s paper reached me. 
Coris argenteo-striatus Steindachner, Anzeiger, No. xvr, Denks. Ak. Wiss. Wien, June 21 (June 27), 1900, 176, Honolulu; 
Steindachner, Denks. Ak. Wiss. Wien, 1900, lxx, 507, taf. m, fig. 1, Honolulu. 
Hemicoris keleipionis Jenkins, Bull. U. S. Fish Comm, for 1899 (August 30, 1900), 51, fig. C, Honolulu. (Type, No. 6049, 
L. S-. Jr. Univ. Mus,; coll. O. P. Jenkins.) 
129. Hemicoris remedia Jenkins. 
Twelve examples of this species, 5 to 6.6 inches in length, were taken by me. Dr. Steindachner 
has identified this tish with Coris multicolor (Riippell), a species described from the Red Sea. This 
differs from Riippell’s species in not having the anterior dorsal spine produced, in the absence of a 
dark blotch on anterior. dorsal, and in coloration of the head. 
This very brilliant fish is fairly common at Honolulu. 
Coris multicolor Steindachner, Denks. Ak. Wiss. Wien, lxx, 1900, 507, pi. v, fig. 2 (Honolulu, Laysah), not of Riippell.
