Besides the type and 5 cotypes collected at Honolulu by Jenkins, we have 2 examples obtained 
by ourselves 2.2 to 6.2 inches long, and a single example obtained recently by Mr. Bernrtt at Honolulu. 
Dendrochirus chloreus Jenkins, Bull. U. S. Fish Comm., XXII, 1902 (Sept. 23, 1903), 498, fig. 41, Honolulu (type, No. 50701,
