The specimen described in the text came from the open sea, south of 

 Newfoundland. The species is well distinguished from E. novebora- 

 censis, by the black ventrals, the larger anal and shorter dorsal, the 

 base of the anal being more than f that of the dorsal ; the head is 

 blunt and the eye comparatively small ; dorsal beginning slightly be- 

 fore anal 5 caudal large, its lower lobe half longer than head. D. 11 

 or 12; A. 11 or 12 (not 9) ; Lat. 1. 42. New England to Mediterranean 

 Sea.

Dark bluish; pectorals blackish at tip, with a median whitish shade; 

 ventrals white. Head rather slender, the snout not blunt; eye very 

 large, 2f in head ; interorbital space rather narrow. Pectoral shorter 

 and narrower than in E. rondeletii, barely reaching last ray of dorsal; 

 first ray of pectoral divided; veutrals extending past anal, their inser- 

 tion midway between preopercle and base of caudal; dorsal beginning 

 considerably in advance of anal, the length of its base more than twice 

 that of anal; lower lobe of caudal not longer than head. Head 4; 

 depth 5. D. 14; A. 9; Lat. 1. 45. Atlantic coast; specimens examined 

 from Wood's Holl and Pensacola.
