M., Vol. 25, p. 326.) 66. Gymnothorax fimbriatus (Bennett). ( stellatus Lacepede?; Gymnothorax isingleenoides Bleeker.) One specimen from Takao, twelve and one-half inches long, agreeing in all respects with Bleeker's description and figure (of young) of G. isingleenoides. The specimen agrees very well also with examples from Samoa, recorded by Jordan & Seale as G. stellatus (Lacepede) and with a single young specimen from Sumatra received from Mr. H. W. Fowler. It may be that the name stellatus should stand in place of fimbriatus. Mursena bullata Richardson, figured by Bleeker, seems to be distinct. 67. Gymnothorax flavomarginatus (Ruppell). One specimen from Takao twenty-two inches long. 68. Gymnothorax pseudothyrsoideus (Bleeker). (Perhaps not of Day) A large specimen two feet in length from Takao, appears to agree in all essential respects with Bleeker's figure and description. The dorsal begins half way between the gill-opening and the back of the orbit; the ground color is rather dark brown, finely reticulated, or marbled everywhere with lighter, and is scarcely paler on the chin and the belly than on the upper parts; there is no black about the gill-opening, and no light border to the fins except at the tip of the tail. The species is near. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - colorati
