But in the ‘‘ Histoire Naturelle des Poissons,’’ of Cuv. et Val., it does not 
appear in that family. ‘That work is not yet sufficiently advanced for us to

Dekay, although he observes, ‘‘ Its true place is probably near or among the 
Syngnathide.”’

GENUS I. FISTULARIA, Lacep. 
Body elongated, cylindrical. Dorsal opposite to the anal. The intermax- 
illaries and the lower jaw are armed with small teeth. From between the two 
lobes of the caudal proceeds a filament which is sometimes as long as the body. 
The tube of the snout is very long and depressed. ‘The natatory bladder ex- 
cessively small, and the scales are invisible.
