 53, pi. ix, fig. 1 6, Panama. 



Range. Panama ; Galapagos Islands. 



One specimen taken between Albemarle and Narboro islands near 

 Tagus Cove, Albemarle. It was secured by Captain W. P. Noyes, 

 who stated that a school of the Hemiramphids was pursued by some 

 porpoises past the boat in which he was rowing and that this one 

 leaped into the boat. 



Length 480 mm. ; entire head in total length 37 ; depth in total 

 length 1 2 ; lower jaw beyond tip of upper in total length 20 ; length 

 of body from tip of upper jaw 382 mm. ; depth in length without 

 lower jaw 15; head in length from tip of upper jaw 22; pectoral in 

 length without lower jaw 16; last ray of ventral in head without 

 lower jaw 45 ; pectoral in head without lower jaw 74? eye in head 

 without lower jaw 19; interorbital space in head without lower jaw 

 23. D. 14; A. ii ; P. ii ; teeth of the upper jaw simple, conical; 

 those of the lower jaw tricuspid. 



We have also 8 young individuals of a Hemirhamphus, about 70 

 mm. long, seined in the surf on the beach north of Tagus Cove, 

 Albemarle, which apparently belong to this species. They are 

 marked by a black lateral band from base of pectoral to middle of 

 caudal peduncle ; by 2 black dorsal lines on the back, one on each 

 side of the median line; and by numerous transverse black lines cross- 

 ing the back, not reaching laterally the lateral bands but broken into 

 3 segments by the longitudinal dorsal lines; lower jaw about 4.5 in 

 the total length.
