equal to dorsal; middle rays of pectoral the longest, 0.25 longer than head; ventral fin about equals 
head; caudal fin somewhat longer; teeth in lower jaw large, in a wide band anteriorly, in a single 
series posteriorly, inner ones slender, straight; outer enlarged, notably serial toward front of sides of 
jaw, which are canine-like and bent backward; teeth in upper jaw similar but with fewer canine-like 
teeth; vomer and palatines toothless; body apparently scaleless with the exception of a few very minute 
scales on the posterior portion. 
Color in alcohol, plain brown, minutely punctate with black; about 12 dark brown vertical bars 
on sides of body, those on caudal peduncle very indistinct; generally 1 or 2 poorly defined similar 
bands across nape; generally several short radiating bands from lower border of eye; the brown bands 
on side of body much wider than pale narrow interspaces. 
This description is based on the type and 12 cotypes, each about 1.2 inches long, caught by breaking 
up coral rocks on the reef in front of Honolulu. (Type, No. 50715, U. S. N. M.) 
Family UV. PTEROPSARIDvE. 
241. Osurus schauinslandi (Steindachner) . 
Two specimens obtained by Dr. Wood. My description of this fish as a new species was published 
before I received Dr. Steindachner’s paper. It seems to be fairly common at Honolulu.

2; scales 3-34-7; depth of caudal peduncle 3 in head, 2.5 in depth of body; length of caudal fin equal 
to depth of body, 4.6 in length; pectoral equal to head, 3.3 in body; ventral equal to caudal; snout 
acute from above and laterally; dorsal profile forming angle with that of chin of about 65°; about 45° 
with longitudinal axis of body; dorsal profile of snout re-entrant before lower rim of eye, thence rising 
steeply to straight line from tip of snout to before eye, then turning backward at- much gentler incli- 
nation to foot of first dorsal fin, whose origin is situated a little before posterior border of opercle; 
greatest depth of body at front of second dorsal; dorsal and ventral profiles beyond this point con- 
verging; dorsal profile anteriorly gently convex; posteriorly, including profile of peduncle, slightly 
concave; ventral profile from ventrals to anal evenly convex; body compressed; posterior part of 
head wider than the body, equal to 0.6 of length of head; width of body at bases of pectorals 2 in head; 
back of this the width rapidly tapers to very narrow caudal peduncle, width here equal to pupil; mouth
