243. Julis flavovittata Bennett. Plate XXVIII. 
Head, measured to end of opercular flap, 3.12 in length; depth 4; snout 3.3 in head; eye 5.5; D. 
ix, 12; A. in, 12; scales 7-88-27. 
Color in alcohol, white with black longitudinal stripes. A black stripe, pointed anteriorly, broken 
and irregular posteriorly, extends from middle of snout to end of dorsal; a second runs from tip of 
snout through eye to base of caudal, where it is connected with the one on opposite side by a band 
passing over the caudal peduncle; a third extends from lower jaw over base of pectoral to base of 
caudal; a fourth passes from throat to end of anal; breast and belly dusky; dorsal black, edged with 
white, a few white blotches along middle of tin; caudal white at base and on margin, middle of tin 
with a black lunate band; anal black, bordered with white; pectorals white; ventrals dusky at base; 
a posterior canine tooth present. 
This species, described originally from the Hawaiian Islands, was not obtained by us, but 1 speci- 
men, 1.8 inches long, was taken by the Albatross at Laysan Island.

244. Julis g-reenovii Bennett. Plate XXX. 
Head 3.4 in length; depth 3.7; eye 5 in head; snout 3.5; D. ix, 12; A. n, 12; P. 12; V. i, 5; C. 14; 
scales 6-78-21. 
Body short, compressed, and fusiform; dorsal outline regularly and evenly arched from tip of snout 
to origin of dorsal fin, thence very slightly convex to base of caudal; ventral outline about evenly con- 
vex throughout; caudal peduncle compressed, the least depth less than snout and eye; head small, 
thin, and pointed; snout pointed; mouth small, nearly horizontal, the jaws equal; maxillary short, not 
reaching orbit, its distal end wholly concealed under the broad, thin preorbital; upper jaw with a pair 
of slender, projecting canines in front, and a series of short, close-set teeth on side, the anterior one 
somewhat enlarged and canine-like; no canine at angle of mouth; teeth of lower jaw similar to those 
of upper; eye small, wholly in anterior half of head; interorbital space moderately wide, convex; gill- 
membranes united to the isthmus; opercle ending in a long thin flap. Origin of dorsal fin in vertical 
at base of pectoral; dorsal fin low, the rays and spines of approximately equal length, the last spine 
about 3.2 in head, the last rav about 3; caudal rounded, the middle rays about 1.7 in head; anal simi- 
lar to dorsal, its origin under base of first dorsal ray; pectoral about 1.7 in head; ventral pointed, its 
length 1.6 in head. Scales very small and smooth; head entirely naked; lateral line strongly arched 
above the pectoral, then closely following outline of back until under tenth dorsal ray, where it bends 
downward to median line of side and continues thence to base of caudal. 
Color in life, rich blood-red, faintly tinged on lower parts of head, at base of pectoral, and slightly 
on middle of side with yellowish or orange; top of snout with an ovate or oblong white area surrounded 
by a narrow black border; a similar white saddle across nape at posterior border of eyes; a diamond- 
shaped white spot on side and base of dorsal, extending upon lower part of fourth to sixth membranes 
of spinous dorsal; another roundish white spot on side, extending from just below lateral line upward 
upon seventh and eighth interradial dorsal membranes, about one-half the spot being upon the fin; 
a white saddle on middle of caudal peduncle: these 5 white spots each with a distinct black border, 
the one on caudal peduncle not well defined; caudal peduncle with a large diffuse brownish-black area, 
breaking up into small specks at the edges, especially anteriorly, and overlaid with small sky-blue 
spots, largest and most distinct in the center and posteriorly; dorsal fin rich red, the spines with slight 
yellow tinge, the rays bluish-white, a narrow black border full length of tin, slightly broader poste- 
riorly; a large oblong bluish-black spot on last 2 dorsal membranes, the 2 white spots on side involv- 
ing lower portions of membranes between fourth and seventh spines and between seventh and ninth 
rays; caudal fin brownish-yellow, lightest toward tip, reddish at base, and crossed near the middle by 
2 series of oblong black spots on the membranes, those of the inner series the larger, the 2 series 
parallel and curving distal ly; anal similar to dorsal, with a narrow black border, but without spots 
anywhere; pectoral lemon-yellow, washed with reddish on basal portion; ventral yellowish, washed 
with reddish on proximal portion, the outer two-fifths sky-blue, darkest at tip.
