I have not seen this species. Professor Goode (Bull. U. S. Nat, 

 Mus., 18T6, 68) makes the following reference to its occurrence 

 in the Bermudas : — 



"A specimen seventeen inches long was taken oft' the ' ducking- 

 stool ' in March, by a line fisherman. Its occurrence in this part 

 of the Atlantic is very novel, but it agrees closely with a specimen 

 of Saurus griseus sent to the United States National Museum by 

 Dr. Giinther. Its color was dusky gray above, yellow below. Its 



formulse are as follows: Branchiostegals, 16-17 (on opposite 



31 



sides); D, 12: A. 12 ; lateral line, 60; transverse line, -r-."
