GILBEKT AND STAKKS — FISHES OF PANAMA BAY

Family FIERASFERID^. 



349. Fierasfer dubius Putnam. 



A single specimen, 58 mm. long, was taken in a tide-pool at Panama. We 

 think it better to use the name dubius rather than nffinis. (Giinther) for this species. 

 The type locality for dubius is the Pearl Islands, near Panama; while the locality of 

 affinis is unknown, and the description inadequate. In our very small specimen, 

 the head is one-eighth the length, the dorsal begins a head's length behind the occiput, 

 the pectoral equals the maxillary and is half as long as the head. The outer mandi- 

 bular teeth, and the teeth on front of vomer are slightly enlarged. 



Family BROTULID^. 

 350. Ogilbia ventralis {Gill). 



Not rare in tide-pools on the Panama reef. Heretofore known only from 

 Mazatlan and Cape San Lucas. 



The tip of the snout and the terminal portion of mandible are furnished with 

 sharply elevated curving sensory ridges. 



Family BREGMACEROTID^. 



351. Bregmaceros macclellandi Thompson. 



Dredged by the Albatross in Panama Bay, Station 2804, 47 fathoms; these 

 are the types of B. bathymaster, Jordan and Bollman, 1889, j). 173 (see Jordan and 

 Evermann, 1898 b, p. 2526). 



Family PLEURONECTID^. 



352. Hippoglossina bollmani Gilbert. 



The types only known, from Albatross Stations 2804 and 2805, Panama Bay, 

 47 and 514 fathoms. 



353. Paralichthys woolmanni Jordan S Williams. 



The type of this species was collected by the Albatross, in 1888, at Panama, 

 and was first listed by Jordan and Bollman (1889, p. 182) as P. adspersus Steindach- 

 ner. Later, when made the type of a new species, it was erroneously credited to the 

 Galapagos Islands. The si^ecies is abundant at Panama, where we obtained numer- 

 ous specimens, and is known to range as far north as the Gulf of California (Mazat- 

 lan, Guaymas, La Paz). Specimens from Mazatlan and La Paz have been distin- 

 guished under the name P. sinaloce Jordan and Abbott (see Jordan & Evermann, 

 1898, p. 2872), but seem to differ in no respect from P. looolmanni. 



In ten specimens from Panama, the fin-rays and gill-rakers are as follows:
