612 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vou. xxx1v. 
Dorsal spines short, considerably shorter than the posterior rays of 
soft dorsal and of anal. Ventral reaching the vent; pectorals extend- 
ing to the posterior border of the second pearl-colored band; caudal 
emarginate, with lobes somewhat prolonged. 
Blackish-brown with two pearl-colored cross-bands edged with 
black; the first passes from in front of the spinous dorsal obliquely 
forward and downward over the opercle; the second is parallel to 
this, starting from the last two dorsal spines and ending at the vent. 
The forehead, lips, lower parts of cheeks, and the chin are orange- 
colored; the line of demarkation between the black ground color and 
the orange of the face extends across the interorbital space and 
obliquely downward and backward along the anterior margin of the 
eye, across the cheek to the angle of the preopercle and on to the 
lower border of the opercle. All of the fins are yellow and un- 
spotted; spines of the ventral and anal fins dark.

Fig. ASA pRIOE TON CHRYSOPTERUS. 
The specimen described is 4? inches long. 
A younger specimen (2? inches) here figured has a third pearl- 
colored band across the body at the base of the caudal. Of this we 
present a figure. This band seems to disappear with age, as the 
specimen evidently belongs to the same species as the first. 
This species has been known hitherto only from a drawing from 
unknown locality. 
25. DASCYLLUS ARUANUS (Linnzus). 
Common in the reefs. 
26. CHROMIS CAHRULEUS (Cuvier and Valenciennes). 
Heliastes lepisuwrus CUVIER and VALENCIENNES. 
Very common on the reef at Fiji.
