above lateral line, and one on the next to last ray in dorsal and in anal. In Xo. 

 090S9 the same spots are present, except in one example 2| inches long, which 

 lacks the spot; in No. 0S954 the spot is wanting; in No. 05892 all the spots are 

 much larger than in the other examples, the spot on tlorsal, in the smaller ex- 

 ample, is situated on the base of the 10th ray and the membrane between 9th 

 and 11th ray; on anal it is on base of next to last ray and the membrane in front 

 of it to 9th ray; in the large example dorsal spot extends from 9th ray to last, not 

 including 9th or last ray. These may be different species, but we can find no 

 other tangible differences.
