sids, 
Fifth dorsal spine 3 to 3 1/8 in head; second anal spine 
2 7/8 te 3 4/5; rounded caudal 1 3/5 to 1 7/8; pectoral 1 4/5 
to 23; ventral 2 te 21/8. Coler in alcohol bistre generally. 
Five dusky to deep brown saddles along back, each wider than 
interspaces and reflected down on sides to form as many obe 
scure transverse bands. Body and fins everywhere, except on 
head belew, breast and belly, marked irregulariy with rather 
well spaced variable gray-white specks or dots, on cheek and 
head below forming rather large reticulations, Spots on pecto-~ 
ralvery small and on ventrals only terminal. “embrane tips 
between dorsal spines dusky. Length 148 te 270 mm, Two from 
Pomoton and ene from laniti. We also include a Philippine 
example in the Academy. 
The larger Yomotot) example is strikingly variable in 
color pattern, in that the head above and laterally is pale 
brown, generally marked with very numerous close-set or 
crewded round spots, As these continue on the body the pale 
reticulating lines encircling them become disconnected more or 
Léss vertically, so that the bedy appears marked with more or 
less waved longitudinal siresaks, This effect also extends 
upward on the spinous dorsal basally. Though the small white 
spets distinct on soft dorsai, anal, caudal and pectoral, not 
apparent er faced from ventral, traces of the dark saddles
