 Günther and others. 



17) Platophrys ocellotus Agassiz. 



2 specimens. One a male, the other a female. Sexual 

 characters very pronounced. Maxillary knob and that on the 

 orbital margin well developed in the male; in the female no pro- 

 minence on the orbital margin and the maxillary knob much 

 smaller than in the male. Upper pectoral rays of the male very 

 elongate, so that they are twice as long as the tin itself, but in 

 the female they are only slightly produced. Secondary ab- 

 dominal cavity well developed in the female, not at all in the 

 male. 



The latter had preyed on small fishes which quite filled its 

 stomach; among these a cyprinodontid could be discerned.
