Fmvlulus ocellarix, JORDAN & GILBERT, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., 1882,255, Pensacola, Florida, 

 in salt water; (Type, Nos. 29667 and 30853. 'Coll. Jordan); WOOLMAN, Bull. U. S. Fish

934. FUNDULUS FONTICOLA, Cuvier & Valenciennes. 



D. 11 ; .A. 12; B. 5; scales 37. Body plump, with long caudal peduncle. 

 Head broad, little depressed ; the tail slenderer and the body deeper than 

 in Fundulus heteroclitusj dorsal inserted in front of anal; dorsal and cau- 

 dal small and rounded, the anal high and pointed, the paired fins short. 

 Teeth in broad bands, the outer little enlarged. Uniform green, appar- 

 ently without spot or band in spirits. (Color entirely lost in the original 

 type.) Length 2 inches. Mountain springs in Porto Rico ; here described 

 from the original type, the only known example, as the other specimens 

 possessed by Cuvier & Valenciennes belong to a species of Gambtisia. 

 (fons, fountain; colo, I inhabit.) 



Fundulus fonticola, CUVIER & VALENCIENNES, Hist. Nat. Poiss., xvm, 198, 1846, Porto Rico;

935. FUNDCLUS BERMUDA, Giinther. 



(MANGROVE MINNOW.) 



Head 3f ; depth 4. D. 14; A. 12; scales 35-13. Snout short, not longer 

 than eye, the lower jaw projecting beyond it. Interorbital width 2 in 

 head; eye 4. Dorsal inserted before anal, midway between preopercle 

 and root of caudal ; anal much higher than long. Brownish olive, the 

 male with faint dark green cross bands. Length 3 inches. Bermudas. 

 (Giiuther.) 



* Specimens from New Orleans, in fresh water, differ in color. Males with about 15 sharply 

 defined cross bands as broad as silvery interspaces; a few dark dots above; pearly dots on dorsal 

 and anal, few or none on body. Females light olive, with many small dark spots forming obscure 

 series; large spots as large as pupil scattered over the body; no trace of dark cross bands; dorsal 

 with a conspicuous black ocellus on its last rays. Dorsal low and small, inserted a little before 

 the small anal. Eye equal to snout, 4i in head; interorbital with 2&. Head 3g; depth 3f. 

 D. 10; A. 10. Scales 34-13. Length 2^ inches. This is possibly a species different from 

 F. ocellaris.
