Although there is reason to suspect that the Gulf of Mexico and Pacific popula- tions are different, we are deterred from a full comparison because of the great changes known to accompany the growth of most bramid fishes, and our lack of a western Atlantic speci- men of similar size. We will consider the Hawaiian juvenile conspecific with the Gulf of Mexico species until a larger Pacific specimen can be Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harvard University.
