to sixth from end, which is a little greater than half head; last anal ray a little longer than first, 3 in 
head; border of membrane notched between each 2 rays; tips of rays curved backward; last anal ray 
opposite antepenultimate dorsal ray; anal fin not connected with caudal; last dorsal ray connected by 
membrane with upper edge of caudal peduncle and base of upper caudal ray; posterior border of 
caudal rounded; pectoral pointed; tenth ray from above longest, equal to head; median caudal rays 
4.3 in length; ventral of 2 simple rays; inner slightly the longer, 1.5 in head; upper nostril simple, 
below center of pupil and close to anterior rim of eye; anterior nostril below posterior, before middle 
of lower half of eye, with a fringed tentacle on upper margin. 
Color in alcohol, plain dark brown above, paler brown below; dorsal fins brown with darker 
margins; second dorsal with numerous small, oblique, dusky brown streaks between the rays; anal 
brown, pale at base, becoming dusky brown at margin; tips of rays colorless; caudal fin dusky brown; 
pectoral brown like side; ventral pale brown; very indistinct indications of veiled dusky bands on 
side of body. Specimens vary much in color. Some have a ground color of pale gray, except top and 
front of head, which in such specimens is light brown. The fins in all pale brown; marked as in the 
type. On each side, however, are about 8 distinct veiled brown bands. Generally all but the last 
2 are more or less distinctly split vertically into a pair of bands. In many such specimens the brown 
color is found on the back and the pale ground color appears as a series of 7 pale spots along the side 
of the dorsal fin, corresponding in position with the pale interspaces between the lateral vertical 
bands. There is every gradation in color between the specimens thus marked and those that are almost

plain. The largest specimens are always plain brown, and in general it is the smaller specimens that 
have the pale and banded coloration, but many of the smaller ones are almost plain brown with but 
slight indication of lateral bands. 
This description is based on the type, No. 50697, U. S. N. M., a specimen about 4 inches in length, 
and 54 cotypes, all from Honolulu, where they were collected by me in 1889. 
245. Salarias marmoratus (Bennett). 
Five examples of this species were taken by me from holes in the rocks at low tide near Honolulu, 
the largest 2 inches in length.
