33. Caulolatilus microps Goode & Bean. 



The Smithsoniau lustitution received, Marcli 22, 1878, tliis fisli from 

 Mr. Stearns. It was taken Marcli 18, 1878, on the Snapper Bauk, off 

 PensacoLa, in 35 fathoms of water. It is now a fine alcoholic specimen, 

 Xo. 20,971 of the Fish Catalogne. 



Caulolatilus microps is related to the Brazilian form Canlolatilus cliry- 

 sops (Cu\ier and Valenciennes) Gill, and the Cnban form Caulolatilus 

 cyanops Poey, described in 18G7.* Of the former, two specimens only 

 are recorded: one, the type of the original description, one foot long, 

 collected on the coast of Brazil by M. Gay, and probably now in the 

 mnsenm in Paris; a second, in the British Mnsenm, a stnfi'ed specimen, 

 pnrporting to have been collected in the West Indies. Of Poey's 

 C. cyanops, the National Museum possesses a fine specimen (Cat. No. 

 4,750), 15 inches long, collected and presented by Professor Poey. 



The Pensacola specimen is 2 feet and 3 inches long, weighing 9^ 

 pounds. Its color has faded, but a yellow blotch is still visible under 

 the eye, similar to that mentioned in C. chrysops. A dark blotch is 

 visible in and above the axilla of the pectoral.
