The character that essentially distinguishes Es- 

 mark's Lijeodes — as this species has been called in re- 

 cent times — from L. retlculatus, lies in the greater 

 elongation of the tail. With this character is connected 

 the greater number of the \ertebra; and also, in general, 

 of the rays of the vei-tical tins. Here, as in the preced- 

 ing species, however, the latter mimber is difficult to fix
