CHLOROSCOMBRVS El'TENURVS, Jordan & Osgood. Head 3|; depth 2if. D. VIII-I, 27; A. II-I, 26. Snout slightly shorter than eye, which is 3^ in head. Chord of curved part (»f lateral line 1^ in straight part. Depth of caudal peduncle 2 in its length, measuring from the base of the last dorsal ray to the base of the first caudal ray. Pecto- rals long and falcate, 3 in length; ventrals short, 2\ in head, extending beyond the vent, which is sitnated in a groove la which these lins fit. De])th of head equal to or slightly less than its length; maxillary reaching anterior edge of eye, 2j? in head. Lateral line unarmed; curve of ventral outline very slightly more pronounced than that of the dorsal; dorsal and anal iin sheaths well developed. Tips of upper spines and rays dusky; a black blotch at baseof upper rays of caudal, and a black axillary and oper- cular spot. The species is closely related to Chloroacovibrus chryanrus, the common species of the South Atlantic and Gulf States, which it evidently represents in the West Indies. The species chryauriia is deeper in every way, having a deeper body, a deeper head, and a deeper caudal peduncle. In chry»uru8 also the eye is larger, the mouth more nearly vertical, and the arch of the lat>eral line higher. When specimens of equal si/o from Florida and Havana are compared the characters arc very evident. In 2 specimens, each 7i inches in length, from Havana and Florida, respec- tively, the de]>th of the body of the one is cont
