143 . Novaculichthys woodi Jenkins. 
Three specimens, 5.6, 6, and 6 inches long, are in Dr. Wood’s collection. In the paper referred 
I to below, I recognized 2 distinct species. However, an examination of a large series of fresh speci- 
mens seems to prove that both these and the one described by Mr. Seale are of one species.

144 . Iniistius pavoninus (Cuvier & Valenciennes). 
General color in life, pale drab; light blue wavy lines downward and backward from eye; vent.rals 
I I white; pectoral pale olivaceous; dorsal with wavy blue reticulations; a longitudinal light blue band 
ij near outer margin of anal; caudal with shade of olivaceous, posterior margin light blue; black spot on 
!; scale a short distance below the fourth spine of second portion of dorsal, just above the lateral line. 
Four examples of this species, 7.5, 7.5, 9, and 9.5 inches in length, were obtained by me; and 
| three, 5, 5.75, and 5.75 inches in length, by Jordan & Snyder. This species is quite abundant. It 
Ij was recognized as distinct from I. pavo by Cuvier & Valenciennes, who received specimens at different 
( times from the Hawaiian Islands. Other authors have regarded it as a synonym of I. pavo, but a study 
! of a large number of examples and these alcoholic specimens seems to justify retaining I. pavoninus for 
the Hawaiian form. A comparison of these specimens with a specimen of I. mundicorpus Gill, No. 824, 
j in the L. S. Jr. Univ. Mus., from Cape St. Lucas, seems to prove them identical in structure and color. 
I This being true, this species becomes one of those few shore fishes which are common to the Hawaiian 
Islands and the Pacific coast of North America.

146 . Iniistius niger (Steindachner). 
Two specimens of this fish are in Dr. Wood’s collection. My description was published soon after 
Dr. Steindachner’s paper was printed and before his paper reached me.
