against the dark body color, and has the belly rather lighter, with 

 clear indications of a lateral stripe on the second and third rows ; 

 ventrals 143; subcaudals 03; length 440 mm. (tail 108, or .245 

 of the length). In one the labials are dark lead color, in the 

 other yellowish green, both wilh traces of narrow dark borders; 

 the chin shields are not subeqiial in these specimens, but the hinder 

 are noticeably the longest, as in most leptocephala, and the eye is 

 small, as in that form. Mr. Van Denburgh refers vidua to elegans, 

 but the totality of characters in the two which I have examined 

 comples me to regard them as leptocephala, to which, in fact. Cope 

 himself has already referred atrata, of which vidua in no event 

 could be more than a synonym.
