Family MURiENID^J. 



6. Muraena augusti Kaup. 



The one specimen of this species differs from Giinther's descrip- 

 tion in that the tubule of the anterior nostril, instead of being as 

 long as the diameter of the eye, is only half that length. 



7. Muraena helena Linnaeus. 

 One specimen. 



8. Muraena melanotis Kaup. 

 Two specimens. 



9. Lycodontis vicinus (Castelnau) (?). 



Three specimens. They differ from published descriptions in be- 

 ing mottled with whitish instead of with purplish or a darker brown 

 than the body color. We do not feel certain of their identity with 

 this species, and its synonymy as given by Jordan and Evermann 

 is somewhat doubtful.

One specimen. The pectoral fins are shorter than described. 



Family SYNODONTID.5J. 



11. Synodus saurus (Linnanis).
