1. Myrophis vafer si), nov. (29681.) 



{Myrophis pmictatus Giinther VIII, 1870, 50. Jor. &. Gilb., Bull. U. S. Fish 

 Comm., 1882, 109: uaineonly; not of Liitken.) 



Body subterete anteriorly, compressed posteriorly, more robust and 

 less vermiform than in Myrophis lumhricus; tail strongly compressed. 

 Head comparatively large, its width posteriorly being greater than that 

 of the body. Upper jaw considerably projecting; both jaws rather 

 blunt. Eye moderate, considerably nearer angle of mouth than tip of 

 snout, its diameter rather less than half snout. Gape rather long, about 

 3^ in head. Head constricted behind the cheeks. 



Teeth small, sharp, slender, hooked backward, apparently in one or 

 two irregular series in each jaw, and a single long series, somewhat 

 broken anteriorly, on the vomer. 



Anterior nostrils with small tubes, posterior nostrils without tubes. 

 Gill-openings moderate, oblique, placed in front of and below the bases 

 of the pectorals, which are rather broader than the gill-openings. 



Pectoral fins small, acute at tip, their length a little more than that 

 of snout, and one-fifth to one-sixth that of head. Dorsal fin of moderate 

 height posteriorly, its origin somewhat nearer gill-opening than vent, 

 its distance from gill opening a little more than length of head. 



Head 8^ in total length. Greatest depth of body about 28. Length 

 of head and trunk 2^ in total. Head 2^ in trunk. 



Color in life, light olivaceous ; silvery on breast and belly ; back and 

 sides thickly dotted with fine, olive-brown specks. Snout somewhat 

 dusky. 



This species is very common in the rock-pools at Panama, where 

 numerous examples (the types numbered 29G81 U. S. Nat. Mus. register) 

 were obtained by Mr. Gilbert, the largest 7^ inches in length. 



This species has been already noticed under the name of Myrophis
