*Chilomycler us pentodon N. Sp. The promiuent character of this species is the 

 possession of four roots by some of the dorsal spines. There are seven of 

 these spines in this specimen, arranged as follows : Four in a transverse row, 

 forming the second row caudal of the eyes ; two in a transverse row behind 

 these, set a little to the right of the two middle ones of the first row ; two in a 

 median dorsal row behind them; and one in the centre of the face in line with 

 the anterior edire of the eyes. Color and markings much as in Chilomycterus 

 sc/ioepfi (geometricnn). but in addition to the black spots, above and behind pecto- 

 rals, and at base of dorsal, is a spot on each side a little in front of the caudal 

 peduncle. One specimen taken at Beaufort in 1882. The character of the spines 

 differing from other species of this genus was first discovered by Mr. V. S. bry- 

 ant. Geo. F. Atkinson.
