Salarias holomelas Ginther is separated by Jordan and Seale 
es a Polynesian species with a dark caudal, though we fail to see 
any value in the alleged yellow caudal of 5S. fiscus, be lefiving it 
simply a variation,

We have compared 3 fine examples of S. edentulus Schneider, 
fecorded from the Hawaiian Islands by Fowler, and a series of this 
latter species from Samoa, all in the Academy, 3S. zebra is very 
clese, and differs chiefly in coloration or lacks the dark spots 
go conspicuous @n the trunk posteriorly, dorsal and caudal fins, 
The record based on the Jones' material in the Academy for the 
Hawaiian Islands, therefore appears entirely justified and valid,
