One example. It differs a little in coloration from Bleeker's figure,™ 

 though purely individual. 



EPHIPPIDJE. 



76. Ephippus argUS (Linnaeus). 



Two examples, larger 3 inches long. The spots are not nearly so 

 numerous as those shown in Day's figure.™ Those on my smaller s})eci- 

 men are about 5 in number along the lateral line.

 base of rayed dorsal 3^; base of anal 6; length of caudal peduncle 4^; 

 length of pectoral equal to space between front margin of anterior 

 nostril and posterior margin of orbit; interorbital space about equal 

 to orbit. Upper edge of occipital crest nearly straight. Space be- 

 tween posterior margin of orbit and origin of spinous dorsal about 

 equals If eye-diameters. Spinous dorsal pale brown, without mark- 

 ings. Length (caudal damaged) about 5 inches. A small example is 

 much deeper, otherwise agreeing.
