312 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. [88] 



This species is known to us from numerous specimens taken by Dr. 

 Jordan at Key West, and from specimens from Hayti, in the museum 

 at Cambridge. These specimens belong undoubtedly to the species 

 called reticulatus by Poey, and this is apparently not different from the 

 inscriptus of Gosse, as the agreement with the latter is even closer than 

 with the former description.
