apparently furnished the basis for the identification 

 of a 28-mm. total length specimen of gttara 

 ( = dentex) by Fowler (1945: 292, fig. 307). Fowler's 

 identification records the same locality, date, 

 collector's name, and Physalia association con- 

 tained on the label with the two specimens from 

 Boca Chica. The 24.4-mm. specimen, presum- 

 ably the one referred to as guara ( = dentex) by 



Fowler, has D. VIII-I-26, A. II-I-23, and 4 to 



5 completely developed scutes. It has a slightly 

 greater depth than two other bartholomaei of 

 about the same length, but this excess is well within 

 the range of observed individual variation. Both 

 of the ANSP specimens have 20 lower-limb gill 

 rakers. The posterior body bars of the 24.4-mm. 

 specimen are more angular than depicted in
