658 LÖNNBERG, NOTES ON FISHES COLLECTED AT HAYTI. 



rows. 3 round, black spöts along the base of the dorsal fin. 

 The first of tliese spöts under the third spine, the second under 

 the sixth spine and the third under the second soft ray in all 

 three specimens. Any fourth inky spöt cannot be traced. 



5) Ocyurus chri/siirus (Bloch) Gill. 



1 specimen. There is no externally prominent, »sharj), 

 median keel;> on the interorbital space otherwise the specimen 

 fully agrees with the description by Jordan. 



6) Lutjanus sijnagris (LiN.) PoEY. 



1 young specimen with the back greenish and the stripes 

 less defined than in the adult. 



2 adult specimens. One of these with a large parasitic 

 crustacean below the eye and one with the dorsal formula X, 13. 



7) Hcemulon aurolineatum Cuv. & Val. (= H. jeniguano 

 Poby). 



1 specimen. 



8) HcBrnulou Echnani n. sp. 



1 specimen of the genus Hfemulon I cannot possibly refer 

 to any hitherto known species, so far as I ain able to see, and 

 I therefore propose to nanie it in honour of the donor and col- 

 lector. 



It seems to be dosest allied to Hamulon flavolineatum 

 (Desmarest) Jordan (eonf. Jordan: »A review of the species 

 of the genus Ha^mulon», Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., Vol. 7 1884, 

 Washington 1885). Hamulon Eckmani ressembles this species 

 in having the scales below the lateral line considerably enlarged, 

 but differs from it by its comparatively longer nose, smaller 

 eye and in having neither canine nor otherwise enlarged teetli, 

 and by the stripes occupying the iniddle, not the upper part, 

 of the scales (conf. Jordan, 1. c. p. 306 and the following des- 

 cription) etc. 



Description: Mouth ratlier large, gape curved, dorsal and 

 anal fins entirely scaled. 



Body comparatively deep and compressed; back rather ele- 

 vated. I'rofile of head nearlv straight.
