219. Paracirrhites cinctus Gunther. “Pililcon” ; “Copula haihai.” 
Color in life, upper part of head dark with many small blue dots, lower part with large blue and 
red dots; body back of fourth spine with 4 broad, bright-red crossbands, anterior one mingled with 
i brown, the spaces between the bands white; dorsal tin red, membranes at tips of spines transparent, 
except the filaments, which are bright red; breast white with golden-brown spots; caudal red; anal 
|i transparent, with olive and red markings; ventral rays red, membranes white; pectoral rays with 
i brown spots, membranes transparent. 
Thirteen examples, from 3.6 to 4 inches in length, were obtained. .Jordan & Snyder collected five, 
I, 3.5 to 4 inches long. This very beautiful little fish is quite abundant at Honolulu, some specimens 
| being almost always present in the market. 
Cirrhites cinctus Gunther, Cat., ii, 73, 1860, Hawaiian Islands, Madagascar, Isle do France; Gunther, Fische der Siidsee, ir, 
72, pi. 52, figs. A and B, 1871 (Hawaiian Islands and Mauritius); Steindachner, Denks. Ak. Wiss. Wien, i.xx, 
490, 1900 (Honolulu). 
220. Paracirrhites arcatus (Cuvier & Valenciennes). 
Color in life (field No. 92), body suffused with red, becoming brighter toward the dorsal and 
posterior portion; spinous dorsal bright red; lower part of soft dorsal red, membranes half-way out 
dusky, the outer portions colorless; caudal red, pectoral and ventral pinkish; the anal fin and anterior 
border of ventrals olivaceous; lips bright red; a small area behind eye bordered by an irregular line 
made up of 3 colors, very bright, the outer blue, middle red, inner orange; nostrils orange; 3 or 4 bright- 
vellow orange spots on subopercle. 
Another from which the one described above can not lie distinguished structurally is of much 
lighter general color and bears on the posterior portion of body and on caudal peduncle a white longi- 
tudinal band. The two forms are constantly found together, and are doubtless, as ( riinther thinks, of 
the same species. 
Cirrhites arcatus Cuvier & Valenciennes, Hist. Nat. Poiss., m, 74, 1829, Isle fie France; Gunther, Fische her Siidsee, n, 
70, pi. 49, figs. B and C, 1874. 
Cirrhites ( Amblycirrhitcs ) arcatus Steindachner, Denks. Ak. Wiss. Wien, lxx, 1900. 490 (Honolulu). 
221. Cirrhites marmoratus (Lacdpede). 
Color in life (field No. 76), general color light, nearly white; belly white with dark cloudings 
over upper part of body; golden yellow vertical bars on upper lip and wavy stripes of same color on 
head; golden spots on the posterior part of body; spots on posterior portion of body and on vertical 
fins bright red; pectoral and ventral fins pale pink; iris red. 
This species is caught with C. forsteri, and, like it, is an abundant and important food-fish. I 
obtained fourteen specimens, 4.8 to 8.5 inches in length; three, 5.8 to 6.6 inches in length, are in Dr. 
"Wood’s collection; and one was obtained by Jordan & Snyder.

Family XLIX. CARACANTHID/E. 
222. Caracanthus maculatus (Gray). 
Head 2.6 in length; depth 1.6 to 2 in length; snout 2.25 in head; eye 4.3 in head, suborbital 
equals eye; D. viii, 12. Body deep, short, compressed; profile from tip of snout to before center of 
eye almost vertical in largest specimens, forming a conspicuous angle before eyes with profile of head 
above eyes, which rises sharply to a gentle curve to front of dorsal fin. In small specimens (1.1 inches 
long), profile much more inclined from tip of snout to before eye, forming a continuous curve with 
part of profile above eye from tip of snout to front of dorsal fin; some of intermediate sizes have pro- 
file below eye inclined but forming angle with part above; greatest depth through front of dorsal fin;
