basal. Intervals between dark cross-bands on spinous dorsal, 
whitish, Soft dorsal with about 3 ill-defined rows of dusky- 
brown spots, formed as cross-bands, Caudal edpre gray-white.

Great discrepancies exist in the earlier accounts of 
this species, if the various references are correctly allo- 
cated besides considerable variation in structure. Under 
Upeneus shlphureus, from Sunda Straits, Cuvier simply says'°” 
both dorsals and caudal are reddish, evidenily from notes on 
fresh material. No mention is made of any merkings on the dor-

Under Upeneoides sulphureus Sauvage nates the typical ma- 
terial in the Paris Museum, His account is likely largely from 
the same material, though as other localities are given, this 
is not certain, He gives his examples as £65 mm., though his 
fisure is only 165 mn, Ihe latter shows the third dorsal 
spine much the longest or longer than fourth, which also longer 
then second; maxillary to front nostril; 3 rows of cheek b5cales; 
parbels nearly long as head; eye shown at least 1/3 of snout;
