ANNOTATED LIST OF THE SPECIES 149 
appears to be the shelter of the rafts used as farmstead canoe landings, or floating 
docks, where much of the life of the farm takes place. Among these activities are 
the butchering and fish-drying for the household, and the offal and fish blood are 
disposed of through the chinks. Sr. Julio Battistini showed me the method of 
taking these fishes with the greatest ease and rapidity. Without pole, line, hook, 
or sinker, a simple piece of fish-flesh was dangled between the logs of the raft. 
The carnero attacked the bait with such pertinacity that from one to three could 
be pulled up and shaken off into a basin at a time. 
Among the natives they have the reputation of being tropic to urine, and are 
said to enter the body of female bathers only, due to their large size, while other 
species attack males. 
My first collecting trip, which was confined to the coastal and cordilleran 
regions, did not penetrate into the tropical habitat of the candirv. But everywhere 
I met people familiar with the stories about it, and it is probably unknown to but 
very few of the inhabitants of Peru.

Differing from the preceding in that there are two or three series of premaxil- 
lary teeth, that the anterior nares are less widely spaced than the posterior; gill- 
openings higher, reaching above first pectoral ray; inner ventral ray adnate to 
belly wall; pectorals shorter, not reaching the ventral fins.
