  Rnnarkft. 
  — 
  This 
  new

  is 
  the 
  representative 
  of 
  a 
  similar 
  

   form 
  in 
  the 
  Atlantic 
  from 
  Maryland 
  to 
  Brazil 
  herein 
  recognized 
  under 
  

   the 
  n;inie 
  7Uf7ripinnift. 
  From 
  that 
  form 
  iroodsi 
  may 
  be 
  distinguished 
  

   by 
  a 
  larger 
  eye 
  and

  less 
  deep

  who 
  

   tentatively 
  suggested 
  this 
  specimen 
  to 
  be 
  an 
  undescribed 
  species 
  when 
  

   he 
  learned 
  that 
  I 
  was 
  studying 
  the 
  American 
  clingfishes.
