long, but wide and rounded, its length from mouth greater than dis- 

 tance between nostrils, which are nearer snout than angle of the mouth. 

 Eye moderate. Teeth f{}, their form as in E. lamia, the u^^per regularly- 

 triangular, without notch, narrow in the young, the lower narrowly tri- 

 angular, erect, on a broad base, all the teeth distinctly and evenly ser- 

 rated. First dorsal beginning at a distance a little less than its own 

 base behind the pectorals, and ending at a point a little more than its 

 own base behind the ventrals. Height of first dorsal two-thirds the 

 depth of the body ; pectoral reaching past first dorsal. Second dorsal 

 very small, not one-sixth the height of the .first, smaller than anal and 

 nearly opposite it. Tail 3i in length. Color plain light gray. Warm 

 seas north to San Diego Bay. 



"Our specimens differ from descriirtions of E. lamia in not having 

 the first dorsal higher than the body, and inserted close behind the root 

 of the pectorals. In E. ohscura and E. milberti the upper teeth are 

 deeply notched on the outer margin ".
