irregular in position, the back always spotted; the dark bands often 

 replaced by about 16 shining, silvery, vertical bands, which are narrower 

 than the dark interspaces ; the interspaces broadest behind ; fins plain. 

 Length 31 inches. Lakes and ponds from Ohio westward to the Missis- 

 sippi Kiver, not found much south of Chicago. (From Lake Menona, 

 near Madison, Wisconsin.)

Head 3f ; depth 5f ; eye large, 3^. D. 15; A. 13; scales about 47-12. 

 Body unusually elongate, moderately compressed, the caudal peduncle 

 long, much longer than head. Head slender, not very broad, the inter- 

 orbital width 2f in head. Mouth rather large ; the teeth in a moderate 

 band, the outer considerably enlarged. Dorsal fin rather long, of moder- 

 ate height, its insertion well in front of that of anal, at a point midway 

 between eye and base of caudal; pectoral small, If in head; caudal 1. 

 Coloration, in spirits, plain, somewhat translucent, with no markings 

 anywhere, except traces of some very narrow dark bars on the sides. 

 Fins now plain. This species resembles somewhat Fundulus diaphanus, 

 but it is more elongate. Coast of Lower California, know only from the 

 original types, (extensus, drawn out.)

941. FUNDULUS ZEBRINUS, Jordan & Gilbert. 



Head 31 to 3f; depth 41 to 4f ; eye 4 to 4i; interorbital width 2f in 

 head; snout 3f. Branchiostegals 5. D. 14 or 15; A. 13 or 14; scales 

 60-21. Head and body shaped much as in Fundulus similis, the snout less 

 elongate. Width of preorbital 61 in head ; eye moderate, If in interor- 

 bital width ; posterior margin of orbit in middle of length of head ; teeth 

 in both jaws in villiform bands, with the external series much enlarged. 

 Dorsal fin long and rather low, the base longer and the rays higher in 

 males than in females ; origin of dorsal nearly equidistant between snout 

 and margin of caudal, slightly nearer the snout in males, and nearer end 

 of caudal in females ; base of dorsal in males 6 to 61 in total length, the 

 highest dorsal ray about half head ; in females the base is 71 in total 

 length; origin of anal opposite that of dorsal in males, behind it in 

 females; in the latter the anal is sharply angulated, the anterior rays 

 more than thrice the height of the posterior, and more than f length of 

 head. In males the margins of both dorsal and anal fins are evenly 

 rounded, the anal the higher, its rays beset with minute white prickles. 

 Oviduct forming a low sheath along base of anterior half of anal ; pec- 

 torals not reaching base of ventrals, equaling distance from snout to 

 preopercular margin ; ventrals about reaching vent ; caudal truncate, 1& 

 in head. Scales very small ; no enlarged humeral scale. In males the 

 margins of scales are rough, with minute tubercles. Greenish above,
