Figure 60.—Holotype of Ypsigramma brocki, new species ( No. 141876), from Rongelap Atoll. (Drawing by Dorothea B. Schultz.) branched ray of pectoral longest (counting down from dorsal edge), second branched ray of pelvics longest; first dorsal spine very short, third spine longest; second anal spine strongest, when depressed reaching to tip of third but not beyond; 4 or 5 rows of scales between anus and anal origin; lateral line arched high over i>ectoral fin, great- est height opposite rear of base of spiny dorsal, then descending to midside of caudal peduncle; longest gill raker a little longer than gill filaments. Color in alcohol.—Background color light tan, sides of body and head speckled with small brownish spots, arranged in three irregular rows behind eye, and one or two above and behind pectoral fiai; eye narrowly margined with black line except dorsally; an oblique sho
