angle mentioned; soft dorsal bright yellow with a narrow black margin, the produced ray yellow, a 
large oval black spot on upper anterior portion; caudal peduncle and fin bright yellow, its outer 
margin ornamented with a band of 4 successive colors from within outward, light yellow, brown, 
orange, and white; anal fin bright yellow, with a narrow outer border of 3 colors, inner black, middle 
white, outer yellow; ventrals white; pectoral transparent; head white; ocular band wide as eye 
through eye, broader below and black, narrower above and dusky; 4 narrow orange lines across fore- 
head from one ocular band to the other, 3 from near margin of eye, 1 above; above these on forehead 
a small circle of orange. 
Three specimens of this beautiful fish, 6.5, 7, and 7 inches in length, were taken at Honolulu, 
where it is fairly common.

164. Chaetodon multicinctus Garrett. 
Color in life, body white, the white extending on dorsal and anal fins as far as the black line running 
lengthwise on these fins; each scale with a brown spot; the black line on dorsal and anal varying in 
distance from outer margins of fins, but at about one-third height of fin from margin on soft dorsal 
and anal; a narrow white line just outside the black line; outside of these lines the dorsal fin is yellow 
and the anal is white; dark line on anal fin extending on the belly as far as base of ventral as a yellow 
line; side of body crossed by 5 crossbands of light brown about as wide as eye; an ocular band brown 
below eye, black above, as wide as pupil from lower margin of opercle ending above eye in an acute 
angle; just above this a black spot in front of spinous dorsal; yellow at borders of upper portion of 
opercle and preopercle; a dark ring including brown spots around the base of caudal; a black crescent 
extending across caudal fin at its middle; ventrals white; pectoral transparent. 
This is a very delicately colored fish. One example (field No. 318, 3.75 inches in length) was 
taken in 1889; and one, 3.9 inches, by the Albatross in 1896. Mr. Garrett states that he had .found 
only 2 examples. These are all that have thus far been seen.

165. Chaetodon ornatissimus Solander. 
Color in life (field No. 321, 6.5 inches in length), sides of body white, the white extending on 
dorsal to a black line running lengthwise of fin near outer margin; breast and belly yellow; 6 bands 
of orange on side of body running obliquely backward, the upper 3 slightly convex toward dorsal out- 
line, the lower 3 slightly convex toward ventral outline; head yellow, with black bands, the most 
posterior being vertical on opercle and joining the upper orange band; the next anterior vertical on 
side of head just behind eye, above joining the black band on dorsal fin; the next (ocular band) which 
is as narrow as pupil at eye, broadens above and below eye; a black band around mouth; upper lip 
yellow; chin black; spinous and soft dorsal fin outside the black line yellow, posterior margin of soft 
dorsal with a narrow black line; base of caudal white, a black band across its middle, exterior to this 
a yellow band, then a black crescent-shaped band, posterior margin white; base of anal white, inner por- 
tion dark brown, outer portion yellow, margin black, spinous portion yellow; ventrals bright yellow. 
Two examples of this brilliantly colored fish, 6.5 and 7.25 inches in length, were obtained by me 
in 1889; and two, 6 and 7 inches in length, by the Albatross in 1896. It is not uncommon at Honolulu.

166. Chaetodon miliaris Quoy & Gaimard. 
Color and description in paper referred to below. In describing this as a species distinct from 
C. miliaris Quoy & Gaimard, I was led into error by the description and figure given by Gunther in 
the Fische der Siidsee, and by Bleeker in the Atlas. An examination of the original description of 
C. miliaris Quoy & Gaimard, which was based on a specimen from the Hawaiian Islands, shows that 
my examples are that species, and that the species referred to and figured by Gunther in Fische der 
Siidsee and by Bleeker is not the same. In Gunther’s figure and description and in that of Bleeker a 
blue spot is assigned to each scale on the sides of the body as far as the belly. In Quoy & Gaimard’s
