the upper profile forms an uninterrupted even curve from tip of snout to front of 

 dorsal, and beyond. The fin and scale formula does not difTcM- from that in scud- 

 deri, except as noted. Tliere are 52 scales in the lateral line, corresponding with 

 the lunnber of vertical series above it.

193. Haemulon steindachneri {Jordan d- Gilbert). 



Frequent in the market and about the islands in the bay. 

 A detailed and wholly satisfactory description of this species is given by Stein- 

 dachner (1876 n, p. 15) under the name Hcemulon caudhnacula. 



194. Lythrulon flaviguttatum {Gill). 

 Lytkrulon opalescens Jordan & Starks (Jordan, 1895, p. 459, PI. XL; Mazatlan). 



Abundant in the Panama market; often taken with dynamite about the 

 islands in the bay. We have compared our specimens with the type of L. opnksceiis, 

 and find no differences between them. The following account of opalexcens is based 

 on a re-examination of the type, the published description being faulty in several 

 respects: 



Head 3r; depth 2|; dorsal XII, 17; anal III, 10 (the last ray cleft to the 

 base, the parts somewhat separated, the posterior half again forked, both joining the last
