33. Caulolatilus microps Goode & Bean. 



The Smithsoniau Institution received, March 22, 1878, this fish from 

 Mr. Stearns. It was taken March 18, 1878, on the Snapper Bank, off 

 Pensacola, in 35 fathoms of water. It is now a fine alcohoUc specimen, 

 ^o. 20,971 of the Fish Catalogue. 



Canlolatihts microps is related to the Brazilian form Caulolatilus ehry- 

 so2)s (Cuvier and Valenciennes) Gill, and the Cuban form Caulolatilus 

 cyanops Poey, described in 18G7.* Of the former, two specimens only 

 are recorded: one, the type of the original description, one foot long, 

 collected on the coast of Brazil by M. Gay, and probably now in the 

 museum in Paris; a second, in the British Museum, a stuffed specimen, 

 purporting to have been collected in the West Indies. Of Poey's 

 C. cyanops, the National Museum possesses a fine specimen (Cat. No. 

 4,750), 15 inches long, collected and presented by Professor Poey. 



The Pensacola specimen is 2 feet and 3 inches long, weighing {)\ 

 pounds. Its color has faded, but a yellow blotch is still visible under 

 the eye, similar to that mentioned in C. chrysops. A dark blotch is 

 visible in and above the axilla of the pectoral.
