7. Hemiramphus unifasciatus Ranzani. 



BELONIDiE. 



8. Tylosurus raphidoma (Ranzani). 



9. Tylosurus euryops (Bean). 



A single specimen, agreeing with the description given by Jordan 

 and Fordice (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mas., 1S86, 317). 



SYNGNATHID5!. 



10. Siphostoma rousseau (Kanp). 



Syngnathns elueens Poey, Synopsis, 1867, 143. 



A small, slender species, with the snout one-fourth longer than the 

 rest of the head ; top of head with a slight keel ; rings 1(5 + 34 = 50. 

 Dorsal rays 20 to 28, the fin covering 1A + 5 rings. Vent midway 

 between tip of snout and twenty-third caudal segment. Head almost 

 three times in distance from tip of snout to vent. Lateral line inter- 

 rupted above the vent. Head 7£ in length. 



This specimen agrees very closely with the short account given by 

 Kanp of a specimen sent by Alexandre Kousseau from Martinique. 

 The Syngnathus elueens of Poey seems to be the same. Poey counts 

 H- + 4 rings under the dorsal. This species is close to the European 

 Siphostoma pelagicum, but the latter is more slender, with longer snout 

 and longer head, 6| to 7j in length to base of caudal. The Euro- 

 pean Siphostoma agassisi is also closely related, but that species is 

 stouter than S. rousseau, with shorter snout.
