89. Amia freenata (Valenciennes). 



One specimen from Bacon (no. 3766; length 3.75 in.). (Not A.fnnafus of Giinther.) 



Head 2.5 in length; depth 3. IS; snout 4; eye very large, longer than snout, 3.1 in head; side with a 



well-defined black band about width of pupil, extending through eye and anoss tip of snout, where it is most 



distinct; a distinct black spot on caudal peduncle at base of caudal fin; a black bar on base of anal; anterior 



dorsal spines black. 



From Amia snyderi this species seems to dillcr in the larger eye, more slender body, and better defined 



black caudal spot and lateral band. The two may, however, be identical.
