NO. 10 CALDWELL: SOUTHERN CARIBBEAN FISHES 39 



Scorpaena bergi Evermann and Marsh 



Material: A 18-39, 4 (39.7—92.0 mm.), AHF 2815, from 8 mi. 

 S. W. of San Nicolaas Bay, Aruba Island, Netherlands 

 West Indies. 



Scorpaena bergi Evermann and Marsh ? 



Material: A 13-39, 7 (13.4—16.3 mm.), AHF 2812, from 1 mi. 

 S. W. of Cape la Vela, Colombia. 

 A 15-39, 5 (12.8—25.5 mm.), AHF 2814, from 2 mi. off 

 Bahia Honda, Colombia. 

 Remarks: The specific determination of these specimens was ques- 

 tioned because of their small size. 



Scorpaenidae, Genus and species undetermined 



Material: A 14-39, 5 (15.0—22.8 mm.), AHF 2813, from 2 mi. 

 S. W. of Cape la Vela, Colombia. 

 Remarks: Further identification was not attempted because of the 

 small size and poor condition of the specimens. However, by inference 

 they may have been S. bergi (see above localities). 



Triglidae 



Prionotus sp. 



Material: A 13-39, 3 (17.3—28.8 mm.), AHF 2817, from 1 mi. 

 S. W. of Cape la Vela, Colombia. 

 Remarks: Our specimens were small and the characters used by 

 Ginsburg (1950) and Teague (1951) were sometimes difficult to verify 

 and may not have been fully developed. Using Ginsburg's key, our 

 specimens best fit P. nudigula Ginsburg. Using Teague's key, they best 

 fit P. beani Goode, but this determination was made with much less 

 confidence than that made using Ginsburg. 



Dactylopteridae 



Dactylopterus volitans (Linnaeus) 



Material: A 54-39, 3 (36.3—43.4 mm.), AHF 2749, from Caledonia 

 Bay, Panama. 

 Remarks: Taken from the stomach of a needlefish, Strongylura sp.
