The origin of the anterior dorsal fin 18 ("pposite the vent, exactly in the middle of the distance between end of wiioiit and base of caudal. The distance between the origins of the two dorsal fins is somewhat more than i that between the origin of the poHtcrior and the caudal. The height of the body is contained nine tinit-H ill the total length, the length of. the head five times and a half. Tlio silvery band is narrow, and occupies a portion of the fourth series of scales. Scales with the margin entire. Caudal lobes equal in length; caudal somewhat longer than the pectoral, and rather shorter than the head. Original locality unknown. (GUnther.) Wo refer to this species a number of specimens collected by Dr. Hugh M. ."^iiiith on St. George's Island, Lower'Potomac. These specimens are identified by Dr. Smith as Menidia heryllina, but they differ from typical examples of the latter fror i the Potomac River at Washington, in the slen- deiei body, shorter dorsal, and in the dark dotting on the back. Head 4i; depth 6J- (7i to 8 in total). D. V-I, 9; A. 1,17 ; scales 40. Eye very lar^e, longer than snout, 3 in head; snout short and sharp, 2|, greatest depth of body nearly 2 in distance from nape to first dorsal.
