The specimens from the West Indies differ from those of the conti- 

 nent, and they will probably prove to be different species. The 

 beUy m the former is uniformly hght-colom-ed, in the latter reddish 

 broAvn with minute white specks. The vomerine teeth of the former 

 are arranged in two long, very concave scries, extending behind the 

 intcnor nostrils, neariy to the side of the mouth. The vomeiine 

 teeth of the specimens from Ecuador are jilaced in two short, hardly 

 convex series, not reaching to the posterior side of the nostiil.
