REPORT ON FISHES COLLECTED TN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 
dots on lower side of head and throat; opercular flap and region in front of it green, and with many 
green dots; dorsal pink, with outer margin blue, and a blue longitudinal bar on middle portion of 
posterior half; a bright blue line on body a short distance below base of dorsal parallel to it; anal colored 
similarly to dorsal, caudal blue; pectoral blue, upper border bright blue, lower portion dark blue. 
This large scaroid is one of the most beautifully colored fishes seen at Honolulu. One specimen, 
19 inches in length, was taken by me; and one, 17.5 inches, by the Albatross in 1896. It does not 
seem to be common, and brings a high price in the market.

One specimen, 7 inches in length, was obtained by me at Honolulu. 
Scarus paluca Jenkins, Bull. U. S. Fish Comm, for 1899 (August 30, 1900), 60, fig. 18, Honolulu. (Type, No. 6141, L. S. Jr. 
Univ. Mus., field No. 297.; coll. O. P. Jenkins.) 
160. Scarus gilberti Jenkins. 
Five examples of this species, from 8 to 14 inches in length, were obtained by me; one by the 
Albatross in 1896; and two, 10 and 11.5 inches, by the Albatross in 1891. Fairly common at Honolulu 
and, like all scaroids, highly esteemed as food by the natives.

161. Pseudoscarus jordani Jenkins. 
One specimen of this species, 35 inches in length, was obtained. This is the largest and one of 
the most beautifully colored of the scaroids that I have yet seen in the Hawaiian Islands. It is not 
common, but is highly esteemed by the natives as food, as its high price in the market shows.

Life colors, very complex and conspicuous; general ground color of body white; on upper anterior 
portion of body 5 narrow, dusky, nearly parallel lines, running from head region upward and somewhat 
backward on to the dorsal fin, the most posterior of these lines from angle of opercle upward and 
backward to margin of dorsal; running at right angles to this posterior one and joining it are 6 similar 
narrow, dusky lines, which extend downward and backward, curving slightly, ending somewhat 
short of base of anal; in the angle formed by upper of this last group and last of first group of dusky 
lines, the ground color is brownish-yellow, which becomes a bright yellow toward and on the soft 
dorsal; in the angle of this area are 2 parallel bands of light yellow, parallel with the borders of the
