line, but his figure shows 37, and his species is described as bluish gray in color, whereas the present 
one is brownish red. The markings on the dorsal, anal, and caudal fins are also quite different. 
This species was first described by Dr. Jenkins, from Honolulu, where he obtained 4 specimens. 
Another was obtained by the Albatross in 1896, 2 in 1891, and 1 by Jordan and Snyder in 1900. Others 
were obtained at Honolulu by the Albatross in 1902. The specimens examined are 10.5 to 12.5 inches 
long. 
A beautiful and interesting species, moderately common about the coral reefs. 
Anampses evermanni Jenkins, Bull. U. S. Fish Comm., XIX, 1899 (Aug. 30, 1900) , 57, fig. 14, Honolulu (type, No. 6136, L. S. Jr. 
Univ. Mns., coll. O. P. Jenkins); ibid, XXII, 1902 (Sept. 23, 1903), 459 (Honolulu); Snyder, op. cit. (Jan. 19, 1904),

231. Anampses godeffroyi Gunther. 
Head 3.3 in length; depth 2.6; eye 8 in head; snout 2.6; preorbital 3.75; interorbital 3.75; D. ix, 
12; A. hi, 12; scales 4-27-10. 
Body short, oval, deep, and much compressed; dorsal and ventral outlines about equally curved; 
head short, but longer than deep; mouth small, each jaw provided with 2 flat, projecting canines; 
eye small, above axis of body; interorbital space rather narrow and very convex; caudal peduncle 
deep, 2 in head; fins rather high, the soft portion of dorsal somewhat higher; caudal truncate, 1.9 in 
head; ventrals short, not reaching vent, 2 in head; pectoral longer, nearly equal to distance from base 
of ventrals to origin of anal; scales large, thin, much deeper than long, the edges soft; scales on breast 
and nape much reduced; a row of small scales at base of dorsal and anal and several series on base of 
caudal; head entirely naked; lateral line following curvature of back until under fourth dorsal ray 
from last, where it curves downward 3 scales and then continues to base of caudal; pores of lateral 
line little branched. 
Color in life essentially that of .1. evermanni, except that the bluish vertical lines on the scales are 
broader and more spot-like in the center, especially on the caudal peduncle, where they assume the 
form of oval or roundish blue-green spots; side with about a dozen pale horizontal stripes, made up 
of the series of spots on the rows of scales; anterior part of side under pectoral with 8 or 9 rather 
distinct bluish horizontal lines composed of a series of spots on the rows of scales, the upper 3 or 4 
extending from shoulder-girdle, curving upward and backward to base of pectoral; back along base 
of dorsal with 3 or 4 irregular series of small bluish-white specks, these usually quite distinct; blue- 
green stripes on anal broader, more wavy, and more oblique than in A. evermanni; dorsal spotted and 
reticulated with bluish green. 
This species is related to A. evermanni and A. cuvier, differing from the former as already described, 
and from the latter chiefly in the less spotted coloration. It is possible that these specimens are 
extreme forms of the common species called Anampses evermanni and that the proper name of all is 
Anampses godeffroyi. 
We have 3 specimens of this species, 10.25 to 12 inches long, obtained by us at Honolulu. 
Anampses godeffroyi Gunther, Fische her Siidsee, Part VII, p. 252, pi. cxl, 1881, Sandwich Islands; from a drawing by 
Andrew Garrett, evidently Incorrect. 
Genus 155. PSEUDOJULIS Bleeker. 
Body elongate, compressed, covered with large scales; lateral line continuous; each jaw with 2 
strong canines in front, no trace of posterior canines; dorsal with 9 pungent spines, anal with 3. 
General characters of HaUchares, from which genus Pseudojulis differs in the absence of posterior 
canines and in having 3 anal spines. Species of small size occurring about rocky islands of the Pacific. 
Only 1 species known from the Hawaiian Islands.
