DEJ^CRIPTIOIV OF CAUL-OIiATIIiUS MICBOPS, A NEW 8PECJES OF 

 Flf^BI FROM THE GUIiF COAST OF FL,ORII>A. 



By G. BBtOWIV CJOODE and TARLETOIV H. BEAIV. 



The Sinitbsouitiii lustitution has received from Mr. Silas Stearns, of 

 the Peiisacohi Ice Coinpauy, Pensacola, Fla., a fish new to the fauna of 

 the United States, and believed to be new to science. This tish was 

 taken March 18, 1878, on the Snapper Bank, off Pensacola, in 35 

 fathoms of water. It was packed in ice, and arrived in good condition, 

 March 22, at the National Museum, where it was cast in plaster, and 

 sketched by Mr. Shindler. It is now a fine alcoholic specimen, No. 

 20,971 of the Fish Catalogue. 



Caulolatilns microps is related to the Brazilian form Gaulolatilus 

 clirysopH (Cuvier and Valenciennes) Gill, and the Cuban form Gaulolatilus 

 cyanops Poey, described in 1867.* Of the former, two specimens only
