THE shorp: fishes. 305 



No. A192 has <ine toolli on one side and two on other side of upper jaw; 

 No. A133 has one tooth on I'ight sitle and none on left side; No. .\.135 has one 

 tooth on right side and one on left side. 



We have compared our specimens with specimens of S. brunneus, S. bata- 

 viensis, S. erythrodon, and the type of »S. erythacus and find that they differ in no 

 way fi-om S. brunneus except in a naturally larger eye in our specimens, which 

 are smaller than those we had of /S. brunneus.
