THE CYPRINODONTS. Ill 



provide a type that would agree perfectly with the descriptions of Luciag, in 

 respect to origin of dorsal and all other particulars. The proper standing 

 of the species Lucise is not yet satisfactorily determined.

Body compressed, tail moderately deep. Head nearly one fourth of the 

 total length ; crown flattened. Snout short, nearly as long as the eye, blunt; 

 chin steep. Mouth of moderate size, oblique ; lower jaws longer, firmly 

 united ; upper short, protractile. Teeth conical ; outer series strong, hooked ; 

 inner similar in shape to outer but very small ; pliaryngeal with a shoulder. 

 Eye large, longer than the snout in small specimens, nearly as wide as the 

 interorbital space. Dorsal rather large, originating about midway from snout 

 to base of caudal. Anal little smaller than dorsal, tip and base extending a 

 little farther backward than those of the latter. Pectorals small, hardly 

 larger than the ventrals and reaching a trifle behind their bases. Caudal 

 deep, convex. Scales large. 



Olivaceous, silvery on lower half of head and on belly, edges of scales 

 darker. A blackish band from the lower jaw along the flank to the middle 

 of the base of the caudal. A dark band from the lower edge of the caudal 

 passes forward below the pedicel to each side of the base of the anal. A 

 transverse band of dark color on the basal half of dorsal and anal, varying 

 in distinctness. Tips of fins darkened. 



Florida. 



The possession of inner series of teeth on the jaws places this species in 

 Fundulus, rather than in Lucania, the essential characteristic of which is the 

 single series of teeth on each jaw.
