front of orbit; lower jaw somewhat included; teeth above in a narrow 
band; four of the outer somewhat enlarged; incisors of lower jaw 
entire; ventral disk a little shorter than head. Eyes small, 4 in head, 
less than half the broad interorbital space. Head 3; its width 3:^; 
depth G. D. 10; A. 8. L. inches. Pensacola, Florida.

Page 751. No. 1149 (5), BatracJnis 2)ar(lns Goode & Bean, should 
probably be considered a distinct species. It is a deep-water form, with 
flabby skin.

Omit from the synonymy Batraclms porosissimus C. & V, (a species 
from Surinam, the identity of which with our species is not proA*en) 
and insert {Batrachus margaritatus Bichardson, Voyage Sulphur. Fishes, 
G7). P. margaritatus appears to range from Lower California to Van- 
couver’s Island.

Coloration essentially as in P. margaritatus, but rather paler and 
more golden; the lines of pores and shining spots very similar. Pala- 
tines each with few teeth (4 or 5) ; 1 to 3 of these developed as v'ery 
strong canines (usually much larger than the canines on vomer), which 
are strongly curved forwards and inwards (in P. margaritatus the jiala- 
tine teeth are more numerous, subequal, small, much smaller than ca- 
nines on vomer). Head 3f: depth 5|. I). 11-37; A. 34; V. I, 2. L. 8
