FURTHER NOTES ON NEW JERSEY FISHES. 125 
snout, measured around from its tip to front of eye, 2%; width 
of mouth 2; interorbital space 124; space between front of 
mouth and tip of snout 2 in its width; front margin of first dor- 
sal about 124 in head; base of first dorsal about 134; front 
margin of second dorsal 3°/,; base of second dorsal 33%; front 
margin of anal 334; base of anal 47%; least depth of caudal pe- 
duncle 434; front margin of lower caudal lobe 1; pectoral along 
upper margin 1; width of pectoral at base 2°/,; front margin 
of ventral 3%; length of ventral 2*/;. Body elongate, de- 
pressed, and trunk tapering back long and rather slender from 
base of pectoral, at which point its greatest depth. Edges of 
body dorsally and ventrally evenly convex, and without a median 
depression. In profile contour similar above and below, with 
pharynx robust and cylindrical. Caudal peduncle rather cylindri- 
cal, comparatively slender, and its least depth about half its 
length. At origins of both caudal lobes a transverse crescentic 
pit. Head large, very robust, greatly depressed, though perhaps 
a little more evenly convex and less flattened below. Profiles 
similar, and when viewed above edge is seen as very broadly 
convex. Snout very broad, depressed, its margin not very tren- 
chant, and its length about half its width. Eye small, lateral, 
and near first third in length of head, evidently elongately ellip- 
soid. Mouth very broadly and evenly convex, its length about 
half its width, and symphysis forms about last fifth in length of 
snout as measured to eye. ‘Teeth in jaws all finely serrated along 
margins, and with very inconspicuous cusps, if present. Upper 
teeth all broad, and lower ones about half as wide. An evident 
pit at each corner of mouth, though no folds. Nostrils rather 
small, inferior on snout about half way in its length, and with 
but small flaps. Internasal space wide, about half of interorbital, 
and latter broadly, though rather evenly convex. Gill-openings 
5, last 2 over base of pectoral, and third longest, about 3 in in- 
terorbital space. No spiracle. Body covered everywhere with 
minute shagreen denticles, not very rough to touch. Around 
superior edges of snout are many minute pores. Origin of first 
dorsal about opposite first ?/; in space between origins of pec- 
toral and ventral, or much nearer tip of snout than origin of 
second dorsal, fin high, its apex just after its posterior basal
