D. j^, A. f-, L. lat. 49, L. transv. 5-|^/10. The lieiglit of tlie body is two-sevenths of 

 the total length (without caudal). Prseorbital and prseoperculum entire, the latter with 

 the angle slightly rounded. The groove for the processes of the intermaxillaries does not 

 extend to the vertical from the centre of the eye, is elongate, and entirely free from 

 scales. The snout is as long as the eye, and equals the width of the interorbital space. 

 The spines of the fins are slender^ the second of the dorsal slightly exceeding half the 

 length of the head, and being more than twice as long as the second of the anal fin, Mdiich 

 is stoutish and shorter than the eye. Uniform silvery, from 6 to 9 inches long. 



Sargus capensis. Smith, Bermuda.

This species is new to the West Indian fauna. 



Fundulus hermudce, Gthr. (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1874, vol. xiv. p. 370), 

 (PL XXXn. fig. B). 



D. 14, A. 12, L. lat. 35, L. transv. 13. The height of the body is one-fourth of 

 the total length (without caudal), the length of the head rather less than two-sevenths. 

 Snout short, not longer than the eye, with the lower jaw ascending and projecting 

 beyond the upper. The width of the interorbital space is contained twice and one-third 

 in the length of the head, the diameter of the eye four times. The origin of the 

 dorsal fin is opposite to the sixteenth scale of the lateral line, and midway between 

 the root of the caudal and the prseopercular margin. The first anal ray corresponds 

 to the fourth or fifth of the dorsal fin. Anal fin much higher than long. Brownish- 

 olive, with numerous indistinct dark greenish cross bands (in the male). 



Of this species, of which the original specimen was sent by J. Matthew Jones, Esq., the 

 Challenger collection contains a second. 2| inches in length. Brackish water, Bermuda.
