INTRODUCTION While working over the Atherinidae for a projected synoptic check list of the marine fishes of the Pacific coast of South America, the authors found it necessary to determine some small Atherinids obtained by the senior author while night-fishing with a dip-net in the Galapagos during the 1938 cruise of the Velero III, Captain Allan Hancock commanding. These fishes appeared to belong to the genus Eurystole, long known from the single species E. eriarcha, described in 1881 by Jordan and Gil- bert from a single specimen taken by Dr. C. H. Gilbert at Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico. Eurystole has remained a rare genus in museum collec- tions. The second specimen was reported from Mazatlan by Jordan in 1895, and of the genus only these two individuals and a few other examples from Lower California, the Galapagos, Colombia, and Peru have been recorded.
