Family MORINGUID.E. 



MORINGUA Gray. 

 i6. MORINGUA LUMBRICOIDEA Richardson. 



One specimen about a foot long, and one small example. 



These differ from most of the species in having the jaws equal. 

 Dorsal and anal fins traceable, depressed mesially; no pectorals. Head, 

 1» or 10 ill length; depth, about •10. Anal beginning close behind the 

 vent. 



We hesitate to identify this species with ApJdhalinlchthys luinhri- 

 coidea^ as our specimens have no trace of pectoral tin. 



17. MORINGUA ABBREVIATA Bleeker. 



One small example with no trace of tins except at the tip of the tail. 

 Head. 10 in length; depth, 40. As the head becomes relative!}' shorter 

 with age, this specimen is referable to M. ahhreviata (head, 2 in length) 

 rather than to M. rnacrocephahi^ in which the head is 9 in the total 

 length. 



Family BELONID^E. 



TYLOSURUS Cocco. 



18. TYLOSURUS GIGANTEUS (Schlegel). 



{Belone annnluta Cuviek and Vakexciennes. ) 



'Of filenames </!(j(inteui^ und (tinnilatns^ of the same nominal date, 

 18-46, (jHjaiiteus is doul)tless the older, occurring also on an earlier 

 page in the volume. 



One specimen of this widely distributed species. 



Family SYNGNATHID.E. 



GASTEROTOKEUS Meckel, 

 ig. GASTEROTOKEUS BIACULEATUS Bloch.

HIPPOCAMPUS Linna3us. 

 20. HIPPOCAMPUS KUDA (Bleeker). 



Two specimens, agreeing well with the account given b}' Jordan and 

 Snyder.
