or quite size of eye. Fins dull brown, ventral largely dusky 
terminally. On some scales of head above each with dark basal 
blotch. Small dusky spot at central axil. Hind opercle edge 
dark or dusky. Smaller examples with pale narrow vertical 
streaks with whitish spot on each scale, also lower abdominal 
scales same, few on bases of soft dorsal, anal, caudal and 
veritrally on caudal peduncle. Such examples have not only all 
fins brownish, except blackish ventral, but with rays and 
spines basally in front whitish. Length 35 to 186 mm, One 
from Maut, and another without exact locality probably also 
Hawaiian? We also include 2 Hawaiian examples in the Acadeny, 
and 2 young 28 to 32 mm, long show the dark vertical bands 
much broader, and the caudal peduncle blotch a black ocellus 
with a pale bluish-white border. 
Ruppell's figure of Glyphisodon Dogs shows the 
fourth dark vertical band much wider than the others. In all 
our adults and half-grown examples the front dark bands are 
wider and the posterior bands slightly narrower, In the young 
they are of about even or subequal width, Ruppell also shows 
the first band extending down to the opercle, though now scarce- 
ly evident it appears a little more forward in our material. 
The second Gpae is entirely predorsal in all our examples and 
extends down close behind the head, without leaving a pale area 
between Day's figure of Glyphidodon sordidusl87shows the dark 
suprascapular and occipital spots, but the 2 dark predorsal
