173. Hen.ioch.us macrolepidotus (Linnaeus'). 
Color in life (field No. 213, 4.5 inches in length), 2 broad, black crossbands on side of body, the 
first including above, the first dorsal spine to base of produced spine and below the origin of ventral 
to origin of anal; second black band including above, most of spinous dorsal behind the produced 
spine, descending downward and obliquely backward, covering from lower side of caudal peduncle to 
tip of lobe of caudal; space in front of first black band, including head, nape, and breast, white, except 
a black band on forehead from one eye to the other; space between the black bands white extending 
on anal; just behind second black band a white band extending on soft dorsal above, below spreading 
from base of caudal to lower tip; the space on the soft dorsal and caudal behind this white band, 
yellow; anal spines black; ventrals black; pectoral transparent. 
1 obtained one specimen of this fish 4.5 inches in length. It seems to be rare at Honolulu, and 
this seems to be the first record from the Hawaiian Islands.

Family XXXIX. ZAXCLID2E. 
174. Zanclus canescens (Linnaeus). 1 ‘ Kihikihi. ’ ’ 
Color in life (field No. 78), front part of body and posterior portion of head included in a broad 
black band, the front margin of which is just in front of eye, down to throat, the posterior margin 
from origin of produced rays of dorsal down a point nearly half way from ventral to origin of anal; on 
this area are some nearly vertical narrow light blue streaks, one running up from origin of ventral, one 
running from base of pectoral, a short one behind the eye; face light blue; an orange area on each 
side of snout surrounded by black border; chin black; abroad space behind this broad black band 
extending above and below on portions of the dorsal and anal fins; front part of this, space is light 
blue, shading into a sulphur yellow below, extending on the produced dorsal as light blue and on the 
spinous anal as a light blue; just back of this space a black crossband running across dorsal above and 
anal below; just bordering this black crossband a narrow light, blue, this followed by narrow bands 
of yellow, next light blue, then black; caudal peduncle and base of caudal sulphur yellow, bordered 
posteriorly by a narrow cross-line of light blue, remainder of caudal fin black, with light blue posterior 
margin; anterior and posterior parts of iris golden, upper and lower dark. This complex pattern is 
gradually developed, consequently the young show variations. In the adult it is quite constant. 
Forty-five examples of this very brilliantly colored fish, from 3.2 to 6 inches in length, were 
obtained by me, and 2 by the Albatross in 1896 at Honolulu, where it is very common.

Color in life (No. 295, 10.2 inches in length), head, body and fins, except the lines and areas to

put on with thick paint; a narrow, bright blue band under chin; opercular flap white; 2 narrow lines of 
color on body at base of dorsal, the upper orange red, lower bright blue; 2 similar lines at base of anal, 
the outer orange red, inner bright blue; a large oval area of orange red including and in front of 
caudal spine; anterior two-thirds of caudal fin orange-red, followed by narrow crossband of black, this 
followed by blue which shades into white on margin ; upper and lower margins blue, with next to them, 
above and below, narrow line of black; iris blue; ventral black, blue area on anterior margin. 
Fifteen examples of this species, 4.2 to 10.2 inches long, were obtained by me; and one, 4.2 inches 
long, by Dr. Wood.
