We have identified these specimens as A. atradorsata because of the pres- 
ence of the black tip on soft dorsal; this character varies (in our specimens) 
from very slightly dusky to jet black, and seems a slight, though the only appar- 
ent, difference between it and A. atricauda. 
Two of the larger specimens had eggs and young Amias in their mouths, 
one of them had “‘eyed” eggs and the other young fish.
