Both dorsals and caudal with dark cross streaks. Pectoral faiutly cross- 

 barred ; two or three small dusky spots on its base. 



This species is probably the one named by Girard, Gobius wurde- 

 manni. Girard's description is, however, so short and so carelessly writ- 

 ten as to be of little value for purposes of identification. This descrip- 

 tion however applies to this species better than to auj^ of its relatives 

 found on the Gulf coast. I have therefore preferred to regard this as 

 the trae ivurdemanni, rather than to apply to it a new name.

LIST OF FISHES COLLECTED IN LAKE JESSUP, AND INDIAN 

 RIVER, FLORIDA, BY MR. R. E. EARLL, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF 

 TWO NEW SPECIES. 



By DAVIO S. JORDAN. 



In the year 1880 a collection of small fishes was made in Lake Jes- 

 sup, Florida, a tributary of Saint John's Eiver, and in the Indian Eiver, 

 near Titus ville, Fla. Several i;jteresting forms were obtained, among 

 them two which appear to be new to science. The following is a list 

 of the species. L. J. indicates Lake Jessui) ; I. E., Indian Eiver : 



1. Jordanella floridae, Goode & Bean. 25345. I. R. 



2. Cyprinodon variegatus, Lac. 25313. I. R. 



3. Fundulus similis, Baird & Girard. 25317. I. R. 



4. Fundulus seminolis, Girard. 25323. L. J. 



D. 17. A. 14. Scales, 54-18. 



Coloration rather pale ; each scale with a small darker spot, these 

 forming longitudinal stripes, the spots not coalescent. Dorsal with 

 whitish and dusky spots arranged in cross series ; caudal with cross 

 series of dark spots. Lower fins plain. A small dusky spot above base 

 of i^ectoral. Head rather long, narrow, and pointed. Interorbital 

 width equal to length of snout, 2f in head. Eye, 4 in head. Teeth in a 

 broad band, the outer little enlarged. 



This is a large, sleek-looking species, very distinct from all the others 

 in the genus. 



5. Fundulus heteroclitus, (L.). 25310. I. R. 



6. Zygonectes henshalli, Jordan. 25330. I. R. 



7. Zygonectes chrysotus, Gunther. 35299. I. R. 



8. Gambusia patruelis, (B. & G.). 25327; 25333; 25344. I. R. 



A multitude of specimens of various sizes. Some have the black 

 blotcih below the eye very distinct ; in others it is obscure, or altogether 

 obsolete. Some of the largest and deepest colored females correspond 

 exactly to the type of Zygonectes inurus. Others match almost perfectly
