ICHTHYOLOGY OF VENEZUELA — SCHULTZ 113 



U.S.N.M. No. 121796, 11 specimens, 74 to 240 mm., from mouth of 

 Cafio de Sagua, 25 km. north of Sinamaica, taken March 12, were 

 separated from the other specimens of this species taken at the same 

 place and date, U.S.N.M. No. 121792, because they appear to be more 

 elongate, with a more slender caudal peduncle, and the space from 

 tip of depressed first dorsal to origin of second dorsal is greater. 

 There is too much overlapping, however, to permit the consideration 

 of this lot as a new form.
