Lutjanus Stearnsii, sp. nov., Goode & Bean. 



A siogle specimen of the Mangrove Snapper of Pensacola was sent 

 by Mr. Silas Stearns, to whom the species is dedicated, as a slight 

 acknowledgment of his services in securing for the United States 

 National Museum large collections of fishes from the Gulf of Mexico 

 and fresh waters adjacent to Pensacola, Fla. 



Upon this individual (catalogue number 21,337), our description is 

 based, having been drawn up from the fresh specimen. Its length is 

 193 inches. Besides the alcoholic preparation, the Museum has also a 

 cast and a color-sketch.
