312 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. [88] 
This species is known to us from numerous specimens taken by Dr. 
Jordan at Key West, and from specimens from Hayti, in the museum 
at Cambridge. These specimens belong undoubtedly to the species 
called reticulatus by Poey, and this is apparently not different from the 
inscriptus of Gosse, as the agreement with the latter is even closer than 
with the former description.
