ENGYOPHRYS SANCTI-LAURENTI. Paes 
are two or three short spines, The orbital ridge is prominent around the 
hinder half of the upper eye; between the eyes the ridge from the forward 
half of the lower eye includes a prominent spine behind which the ridge is 
less elevated. Other angles of prominence on the head are that below the 
snout, that in front of the lower orbit, and that below the angular. Snout 
blunt, half as long as the eye. Mouth small; maxilla curved, left reaching 
to a vertical from the forward edge of the eye. Teeth small, hooked, in a 
single series on the right jaws, absent from the left. Eyes large, twice as 
long as the snout, one third of the length of the head, close together, sepa- 
rated by a narrow space with a sharp ridge which is divided in the middle; 
upper eye directly above the lower. Left anterior nostril small, with a 
short valve; right with a larger valve or flap. A membranous extension 
from the opercle above the base of the pectoral. Gill rakers six, short, : 
thick, pointed, on the lower part of the arch. Lateral line bent anteriorly, 
much as in Monolene ; bend comparatively short, two and one half times as 
long as high, nearly straight for a short distance on the top, descending 
farther and less rapidly backward. A sharp pelvic angle. No anal spine- 
like process, Scales medium, ctenoid on the left side, cycloid on the right. 
Dorsal and anal with shorter rays anteriorly, fringed in the greater portion 
of the length. Dorsal origin on the right side near the nostril; anal orgin 
below the base of the pectoral. Ventrals of six rays; left fin slightly farther 
forward. Left pectoral half as long as the head, with one or two rays more 
than the right. Caudal pointed, four fifths as long as the head, free from 
dorsal and anal. 
Left side clouded dark brownish; fins blackish ; caudal with a transverse 
series of three black spots, the median farther backward; pectoral blackish 
toward the ends; right side uniform flesh color. 
The blind side of these specimens has none of the markings ascribed to 
the types from which the original description of 2. Sancti-Laurenti was drawn 
by Jordan and Bollman. As the types were much smaller than the present 
individuals, it would appear from the latter as if the gridiron marks were 
lost in age. These authors give cycloid scales as a generic character; our 
specimens have ctenoid scales on the left side on which the combs have 
comparatively few and fragile teeth.
