100. Amia endekatEenia (Bleeker). 



Three specimens from Bacon (no. 3839 and 3818; length 2.25 to 3.5 in.). 



A. endAatienia is undoubtedly a species distinct from A. fasciaia, easily distinguished by the bluntly 

 rounded profile of the head, the short snout, and the more rounded preopercle. Gillrakers 11 on lower limb 

 (including nodules); only posterior limb of preopercle serrated. Our specimens are faded, but the 4 dusky 

 longitudinal lines arc quite perceptible in the large specimen; also the rather diffused dusky caudal spot. 

 The small specimens have the spinous dorsal tipped with dusky and show indistinct traces of dusky vertical 

 lines, as in .1. quadrifasciata; the large specimen has ventrals tipped with dusky.
