The specimens in the Museum are from Hayti, Dominica, Martinique, 

 Cuba (Poey's types of siragus), St. Vincent. 



Mr. Samuel Garman collected several hundred specimens 

 of this species at Kingston, St. Vincent. Most of these 

 specimens are less than an inch in length, the longest Ij 

 inches; they differ considerably in coloration from the adult; 

 most are entirely naked, a few of those examined having 

 scales only on the posterior part of the body. Caudal 

 deeply emarginate. There are traces of about seven dark 

 vertical bars; a black bar at base of pectoral; dorsals with 

 several series of black spots; an H-shaped figure on base 

 of caudal, a black bar on the posterior half of caudal fin; 

 belly and lower part of body plain; everywhere else with 

 black points. The specimens collected by Mr. Garman may 

 be the types of a new species. No large specimens were 

 collected at the Island of St. Vincent. 



Specimens an inch and a half in length from Hayti have 

 the fins plain and a series of blotches along the middle of 

 the posterior part of the body; the body, except the belly, 

 is entirely covered with scales which are plainly ctenoid.
