2. Discopyge ommata .Jordan and Gilbert sp. nov. 



Diagnosis.— Separated from Discopyge tschudii by the spiracles hav- 

 ing coarse fringes. 



Type: No. 41,133, IT. S. National Museum. 



Hab.— Pacific Ocean off coast of Colombia, 8° 06' 30" X.; 78° 51' W.; 

 also taken by Professor Gilbert at Panama in 1882. 



Description. — Disk wider than long by f interorbal width. Pectorals 

 extending backward covering base of veutrals. Suout broadly rounded, 

 not at all exserted, its length 4£ in length of disk. Eye small, not 

 quite half length of snout. Interorbital space slightly concave, its 

 width 1£ in snout. Spiracle smaller than eye, its margin fringed with 

 8 to 10 papillae. Edge of nasal valve vaguely crenulate. Width of 

 mouth 1§ in preoral part of head; its anterior margin crenulate; pre- 

 oral part of snout with distinct pores. Tail from vent to tip of caudal, 

 very slightly shorter than rest of body from vent to tip of snout ; a fold 

 of skin on each side of tail extending to opposite posterior margin of first 

 dorsal. Second dorsal narrower and higher than first, its length about 

 equal to snout. Upper margin of caudal equal to snout and eye; its 

 margin like that of dorsal, rounded. Ventrals large, aduate behind, 

 with scarcely any anteroposterior margin. 



Color brown, irregularly mottled and spotted with lighter and darker, 

 these markings more pronounced nearer the margins of disk and on sides 

 of tail; center of disk with a large blackish ocellated spot equal to 

 length of snout, the darker center surrouuded by a narrow pale circle, 

 a pale spot in the center; snout pale. Posterior edge of pectoral and 

 entire edge of ventrals pale, the lower posterior part of pectorals 

 spotted. Dorsals and caudal pale, marbled with darker. 



This species is known from a single female specimen dredged at a 

 depth of 33 fathoms at Station 2795. A specimen was also obtained 

 by Dr. C. II. Gilbert at Panama in 1882. This specimen was destroyed 

 by fire before a description was published. 



3. Urolophus goodei sp. nov. 



Diagnosis. — Approaching Urolophus lialleri and nebulosm, from which 

 it is separated by the presence of a strong spine on the middle of the 

 back, by the more angular outline, the narrow ventrals, and the plain 

 coloration. 



Type : No. 41,150, U. S. National Museum. 



HAB.-Pacific Ocean, off coast of Colombia: 8° 06' 30' K, 78° 51' W. 



Description. — Disk (to posterior base of pectorals) broader than long 

 by a distance equal to snout and half eye ; anterior margins of disk 

 very slightly convex from in front of eyes outwards, Snout with its 

 tip exserted and sharply pointed, its length 3^ in disk to base of pecto- 

 rals. Eye about equal to spiracle, 3^ in snout. Margin of spiracles 

 not denticulated. Interorbital area scarcely concave, its width 2 in 

 snout. Width of mouth 2 in preoral part of head. Nasal fold con-
