. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. FAMILY PSEUDOCHROMIDAE—SCHULTZ 407 mens; gill rakers short; anterior nostril tubular, separated from posterior one by a wide dermal isthmus; no serrations on opercle; premaxillary protractile; tip of dentary not projecting, or projecting only a trifle, beyond tip of snout. ColoT in alcohol.—Plain light brown with the fins a little darker brown; a ring of dark pigment around eye. Ecology.—This species was taken only among coral heads at depths of 20 to 28 feet in the northern Marshall Islands. It did not occur in shallow water on the reefs. R

ColoT in alcohol.—Plain light brown with the fins a little darker brown; a ring of dark pigment around eye. Ecology.—This species was taken only among coral heads at depths of 20 to 28 feet in the northern Marshall Islands. It did not occur in shallow water on the reefs. Remarks.—This new species was described because Bleeker's figures of Pseudoplesiops typus show a distinct dorsal lateral line, as does that. Figure 67.—Holotype of Pseudoplesiops sargenti, new species ( No. 140683), from Bikini Atoll. (Drawing by Dorothea B. Schultz.) of Weber and de Beaufort (The Fishes of the Indo-Australian Archipelago, vol. 5, p. 380, 1929), The latter authors state they have examined one of Bleeker's types of P. typus^ and in the generic and specific description the dorsal lateral line is mentioned. Since none of our specimens has a lateral line it is necessary to give this species a name. P. sargenti may be separated from the other mem- bers of the genus by means of the key.
