between third and tenth rays, extending upward to the edge but not 
reaching downward to base of fin. Iirst, second, and third ventral 
rays dusky above, the color deepening toward their bases. Anal im- 
maculate. Caudal brownish, with a rather darker edge. Seen at 
Hawaii and southward in the sea. ; 
The species described by Bleeker from the East Indies has been 
identified by Bleeker, by Liitken, by Giinther, and Jordan and 
Evermann, with Hwocetus bahiensis Ranzani, from Bahia, Brazil. 
No one has yet made a comparison of specimens. No good descrip- 
tion of Cypsilurus bahiensis exists, and in the best of these accounts 
(that of Huocetus vermiculatus Poey, from Havana) shows some 
discrepancies. Meanwhile it seems best provisionally to regard the 
Pacific species as distinct. We here present a good figure of it. 
We may here note that the species figured by Jordan and Seale 
(Fishes of Samoa, p. 209, fig. 121), as Cypsilurus unicolor is prob- 
ably not the Hxocetus unicolor of Cuvier and Valenciennes (XIX, 
p- 97), which is more like 1’. owycephalus Bleeker. We are, however, 
unable to separate the Samoan species from L’vonautes or Cypsilurus 
gilberti Snyder, from Hawaii.
