(Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) 
Tue collections of fishes made at Tobago by Mr. P. L. 
Guppy, and received from him during the last three years, 
contain examples of 150 species, one of which is described 
below as new to science. In addition, eight species were 
previously unrepresented in the Collection of the British 
Museum (Natural History); of these, five require a new 
description.

of head, and more than twice the itterorbital width. Head 
naked. Snout rounded; jaws equal anteriorly; maxillary
