edges. Nostrils together, close before front eye edge. Interorbital 

 convex. Gill-opening little inclined, below hind part of eye and 

 equals eye. Body minutely spinescent, slightly rough to touch. 

 First dorsal spine inserted over middle of eye, with row of antrorse 

 serrse along each front edge and another on each hind edge, all becom- 

 ing smaller towards spine base. Second dorsal spine barely I of 

 first. Soft dorsal inserted about midway between front eye edge 

 and caudal base, front median rays longest, apparently (damaged) 

 not over half of first dorsal spine. Anal largely opposite, its origin 

 slightly behind dorsal origin. Caudal slightly convex behind. Pec- 

 toral small. Ventral spine rigid, with pair of spines in front, another 

 pair behind and several each side. Color in alcohol pale uniform 

 brownish generally, with brassy reflections below. Iris whitish.

Recorded as Tetrodon reticularis by Cope. On comparison with 



an example from Pine Island, Florida, which I recorded as the 



preceding species, "-^ I find such to be wrong and that it agrees with 



Cope's St. Martin's example.
