1. CATULUS CHILENSIS (Guichenot). 



A single example from Tome, Chile. There are eight or nine broad 

 dark saddles across the dorsal surface, one between the eyes, the 

 next lying above the pectorals and riinnmg obliquely forwards above 

 the gills, the third just behind the pectorals, the fourth below the 

 first dorsal, the fifth over the anal insertion, the sixth on and below 

 the second dorsal, and four much smaller ones present posteriorly 

 on the tail. On these, as in the interspaces and on the fins, are many 

 small leopard spots. 



The distinctness of the nasal valves places this species m Catulus, as 

 separated by Gill from ScyUiorhinus, which has them confluent, 

 although the value of this character is open to question.

 Sardinella fuegensis Jenyn.s, Voy. Beagle. 1842, p. 134. 



A number of specimens from Lota, Chile, the longest 120 mm. in 

 total length. Specimens of the same size as that described by 

 Smitt^ correspond to his measurements and figure. The following 

 additional notes may be added to Giinther's remarks:'' 



Dorsal rays 18 or 19; anal 16 to 18; pectoral 16; depth 4 to 4|^ in 

 body of young (80 mm. in total length), and 3^ in largest (120 mm.); 

 head 3f to A\; eye 4 to 4J in head; maxillary 2J to 2|; interorbital 

 width 4^ to 5; scales in lateral series 44 to 46, in transverse 14 to 16; 

 vertebrae 45; least depth of caudal peduncle, 3 in head. 



There are no teeth discernible in the jaws, the tongue is smooth; 

 the ventral insertion is but slight^ behind that of the dorsal, which
