58 HIALMAR RENDAHL 



Four specimens, 143 — 35 mm. (s. c), caugth at the shvore, V4 and '% 1917. 

 Thirteen specimens, 92 — 37 mm. (s. c), from a lobster-trap about 50 m. 

 off shore, ^^U 191 ?• 



The irregular dark cross-bars on the sides of the body are very distinct 

 in the small specimens up to about 55 mm. tot. length. They gradually be- 

 come more obsolete, traces of them can, however, be distinguished also in the 

 specimen of 92 mm. length. 



The occurrence of this species on the Chilean coast is very doubtful. 

 The specimen mentioned by Gunther from » Chile* is, as the note of the 

 same author shows, not to be identified with this species, the single statement 

 being therefore Delfin's notice, that there are two samples of this species in 

 the Museo de Valparaiso, »vvhich are from Valparaiso*.
