X, 13, I to 15, I, third dorsal spine 2% to 2% in head, first ray 21^ to 2%; A. Ill, 8, i or 9, i, third spine 2% to 2%, first ray 2 to 2-^^; caudal ly^ to 1%, little emarginate behind; least depth of caudal peduncle 2% to 3; pectoral ly^ to 1%; ventral 1%. Back and upper surfaces brown, below paler and under surfaces whitish. Broad dusky brown band from eye horizontally to and on caudal, nearly wide as eye, upper and lower edges each with diffuse narrower whitish band. Iris gray white. Dorsals pale or dull brownish basally, each fin broadly bordered dusky. Caudal. Figure 12.—Ldtjancs flavipes (Valenciennes). Variation of young largely dusky, at least over terminal portion. Other fins all pale, pectoral and anal slightly brownish terminally and ventrals yellowish. Mauritius, Madagascar, Natal, Reunion, East Indies, Melanesia. A well-marked species. As figured by Bleeker my largest example does not show the two lower pale or yellow lateral bands. Two small examples, which I believe to be the young, show a pearly white band from the snout tip over the infraorbital, medial alongside above pectoral base to caudal base medially. This, like another similar small one, both have in addition four narrower white lines above and another below. One example. Cebu market. March 20, 1909. Length 69 mm. 21816. Philippines. Length 68 mm. 11674 [1112]. Mariveles Bay. January 30, 1909. Length 113? mm. Dusky band from eye to caudal base width of eye. Two nax-row brown bands %.
