MURANA KAILUA Jordan and Evermann 
(Murena kauila and Murena lampra JENKINS.) 
Of this species (not seen at Fiji) we have one specimen from the 
market of Honolulu by Mr. Louis Berndt. It has broad, irregular, 
white bands on ventral region of throat and belly, their width some- 
what less than diameter of eye. The brown interspaces posteriorly 
are about twice as wide as the bands; anteriorly they grow narrower, 
appearing on the throat as dark bands on a white background. The 
white spots on the sides are like those of the type of J/. katluw, round 
and bordered by dark rings, and they do not become elongate until 
near end of tail. On the sides the dark spots are distinct as in J/. 
hauila Jenkins. ‘This example embodies the characters of J/. kawila 
and MW. kailue, leaving no doubt as to their identity.
