Tropical America on both coasts, north to Cerros Island and North Carolina, south to Panama and Rio Janeiro; the typo a single specimen, about 5 inches long, taken with a seine in the Astillero at Maxatlan. This little fish seems to be abundant in all warm and sandy shores of tropical America. It is the smallest and feeblest of all our flounders, and has therefore been generally overlooked by collectors. In the Museum of Comparative Zoology are specimens of this species from Rio Janeiro, Hantos, Victoria, Para, and Sambaia, in Brazil. The largest of these is 6 inches in length. Head 5 m length; depth l^^,;; scales 44 ; 1). 85; A. 67. We have specimens from Charleston, Cedar Keys, New Orleans, Galveston, Beaufort, North Carolina, Mazatlan, Panama, and from several localities along both sidcts of the coast of Lower California. These vary in form, color, and s4ent; dorsal beginning on the snout, its rays all simple. Caudal fin sessile, almost confluent with dorsal and anal. Ventral fins normal, that of the left side on the ridge of the abdomen; gill rakers few, feeble. Vertebra* 43. Deep-sea ftshes, closely allied to Trichopsetta and Arnoglossua^ but with the right pectoral obsolete. The translucent larva of Monolene is similar to the larva of Platophrys. It was at first described as a distinct genus {Thyri8 = iJeloiliyria) by Dr. Goode before its true character was recognized. The following are the characters ascribed to the larval genus Delothyris:* * The following are the characters of the species, Delothyri$pellueidus, Goode: Colorless, translucent; 3 couspicuonn, dusky, longitudinal lines on left side, the middle one faintest.
