Kamily SOLKI1U-:. 



61. ACHIRUS FASCIATUS Lacepede. 



Represented by three specimens. 



62. SYMPHURUS PLAGIUSA (Linnaeus). 



There are twelve specimens of various sizes which by the number 

 of dorsal fin rays (about 90) appear to belong to (his species rather 

 than the closely allied S. pusillus, said to have D. 78. 



Family ANTENN AKI11KK. 



63. PTEROPHRYNE GIBBA (Mitchill). 



The single specimen of this genus appeals to belong to this species, 

 the bait being bulbous rather than bifurcate. From specimens 

 available for comparison, however, this character shows a consid- 

 erable variation, and as this is the chief specific distinction, the 

 form may prove not to be separable from P. histrio (Linnseus).
