the upper profile forms an uiiii)terrupted even curve from tip of snout to front of 

 dorsal, and beyond. The fin and scale formula does not differ from tliat in scud- 

 deri, except as noted. There are 52 scales in the lateral line, corresponding with 

 the number of vertical series above it.

193. H£emulon steindachneri {Jordan <t Gilbert). 



Frequent in the market and about the islands in the bay. 

 A detailed and wholly satisfactory description of this species is given by Stein- 

 dachner (187G a, p. 15) under the name Bcemulon caudimamla. 



194. Lythrulon flaviguttatum {Gill). 

 Lythrulon opalescens Jordan & Starks (Jordan, 1S95, p. 459, PI. XL; Mazatlan). 



Abundant in the Panama market; often taken with dynamite about the 

 islands in the bay. We have compared our specimens with the type of L. opalescens, 

 and find no differences between them. The following account of opalescens is based 

 on a re-examination of the type, the published description being faulty in several 



respects: 



Head 3j; depth 2]; dorsal XI f, 17; anal III, 10 (the last ray cleft to the 

 base, the parts somewhat separated, the posterior half again forked, both joining the last
