Anchoa cubana, from a fish of 52-1 mm (batch d). b. Anchoa parva, from a fish of 53-0 mm (batch e). rays slightly greater than snout length. Gillrakers fine, slender and slightly curved, the longest about three-fifths eye diameter ; inner edge of rakers with a series of fine serrae flanked on either side by a series of 20-25 slightly larger serrae ; seven small triangular rakers on posterior face of 3rd epibranchial. Gill filaments of anterior hemibranch becoming progressively shorter than those of the anterior hemi- branch towards the angle of the arch. Pseudobranch present, about three-quarters eye diameter, with about 20 filaments covered by skin except for their tips. Dorsal fin origin nearer to caudal base than to snout tip by 175-2-00 eye dia- meters ; fin fairly low, the tip of the longest unbranched ray not quite reaching to the tip of the last ray when the fin depressed. Pectoral fin tips failing to reach pelvic.
