interorbital width greater than eye. Origin of dorsal fin over middle of 

 base of anal, f distance from snout to base of caudal; origin of anal fin 

 midway between head and caudal, the last ray nearly as far back as that 

 of dorsal ; caudal elongate, pointed, as long as head. Light olivaceous, 

 with a dark blotch at base of dorsal and another on back above or in 

 front of first anal ray ; apparently a light, transverse streak at base of 

 caudal. Rio San Jose, Costa Rica. 



Rimilus isthmensis, GARMAN, The Cyprinodonts, Mem. Mus. Comp. Zool., xix, No. 1, July, 

 1895, 140, Rio San Jose, Costa Rica. (Type in M. C. Z.) 



Page 663. Lucania ommata is wrongly referred to the synonymy of 

 Helerandria formosa by Garman. 



Page 664. The species called Lucania goodei in the text has 2 rows of 

 teeth and is a true Fundulus, or rather Zygonectes, as Garman has shown. 

 It may stand as Fundulus goodei. 



Page 665. Lucania venusta is wrongly referred by Garman to L. parr a, 

 to which, however, it is closely related. 



Page 668. Garman wrongly refers Characodon bilineatus and C. rariatus 

 to the synonymy of C. later alls.

Head 3 ; depth 3 ; eye 3. D. 11 to 13 ; A. 13 ; scales 30 to 32-12. Snout 

 shorter than eye, lower jaw projecting. About 9 teeth in upper jaw and 

 about 34 in lower; teeth strongly bicuspid, the villiform teeth not devel- 

 oped. Mouth almost vertical when closed, mandible about length of 

 eye ; interorbital space flat, the anterior part equal to orbit, wider pos- 

 teriorly. Insertion of dorsal in middle of total length; anal inserted 

 under fourth ray of dorsal ; pectoral reaching past insertion of ventral ; 

 tips of depressed dorsal and anal in vertical through middle of caudal 

 peduncle; caudal broad, truncate, length of middle rays equal to length 

 of top of caudal peduncle. Head about of total; greatest depth of 

 body above veutrals ; depth of caudal peduncle \ its length. Color in 

 alcohol, male with a broad indefinite lateral band; female with dark 

 blotches on sides which in 1 of 3 specimens form distinct cross bands. 

 This species is most closely related to Characodon variatus, Bean. It dif- 

 fers from that species in having fewer rays and scales, much fewer teeth, 

 larger eye, much more posterior position of dorsal, and in color. Length 

 1J inches. Rio Grande de Santiago, Tepic, Mexico.
