 Bay, Panama. Two small specimens (25.7, 32.1 mm.) 

 from the same field lot, but with a different catalog 

 number (AHF 2637) apparently belong to this species.

 Venezuela. 



A 23-39, 1 (61.4 mm.), AHF 2312, from Tortuga Island,

 Bay, Tobago Island, West Indies 



A 40-39, 39 (52.3—65.7 mm.), AHF 2635, from Buccoo 

 Bay, Tobago Island, West Indies. A single specimen, 

 bent nearly double (ca. 60 mm.), from the same field 

 lot but with a different catalog number (AHF 2835), 

 apparently belongs to this species.

Anchoviella eurystole (Swain and Meek) ? 



Material: A 40-39, 2 (66.6, 74.5 mm.), AHF 2640, from Buccoo 

 Bay, Tobago Island, West Indies. 

 Re7narks : This locality is far out of the geographical range (Woods 

 Hole, Massachusetts, to Beaufort, North Carolina, or possibly to the east 

 coast of Florida) given by Hildebrand (p. 114) for this species. Because 

 of this, and inasmuch as our material nearly keys out to the closely- 

 related A. perfasciata (Poey) as well, which does occur in the West 

 Indies, we question the specific determination.
