of all ol" these (ten of which we give below) show but slight variatious 

 among the individuals. 



The head is but very slightly greater than the depth, and is con- 

 tained from 3 to 3;^ in the body to base of caudal tin, while the depth 

 varies from 3 to 3.6 in the same, this least depth being found in the 

 smallest specimens. 



The variation in the distance between dorsals is due in part to the 

 difficulty of determining where the membrane of the first tin ends, as in 

 some specimens it is more or less torn. 



The scales are usually 2-31-5, but in one individual they seem to be 

 2-32-5, while in another they are 2-30-5.

 Uiieneus cUntalns Gill, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Pliila. 18(52, 250 (Lower California); 

 Jordan &, Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 1882,363 {Cape San Lucas) (note on 

 Gill's types); Hall ».V, McCauj^bau, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1885, 154 (no 

 specimens seen) ; Jordan, Proc. U S. Nat. Mus. 1888, 330 (partial description of 

 a Kpecimea from Tres Marias Islands). 



Three specimens were obtained by us. These, together with Dr. 

 Giirs types from Cape San Lucas and one specimen 10| inches long 

 from Tres Marias Islands, examined by Dr. Jordan {o}). cit.), are the 

 only si)ecimens of this species yet recorded. 



Head, 3.4 (4.3); depth, 4 (5.1); eye, 3.8; D. A'll-I, S; A. J, G; 

 scales, 2-37-5. 



The scales are much more deciduous than in the two other species 

 found by us, and the upper parts are very much darker.
