Ginther wrongly figures this spesics asGlyphidodon sax- 
Oe ag though his figure does not show the dark axillary 
spot, so distinct in our material, Other pounts of variance 
in his figure are the scaleless pectoral, and pale ventral 
rays brownish, 
Compared with Philippine and Sumatran examples of A. 
saxatilis (Linnaeus) in the Academy we find the fourth dark 
vertical band begins little before the middle of soft dorsal 
and fifth band on caudal peduncle close to caudal base; soft 
dorsal and anal with nearly median longitudinal dark band on 
each fin, that on anal little broader, but in no case developed 
me pronounced dark blotch on last fin rays.
