 FISH FROU TIIF GUWjW COAST OF FLORIDA. 



By O. BROWN CiOODE and TARLETON II. BEAN. 



The Smithsonian Institution has received from Mr. Silas Stearns, of 

 the Pensacola Ice Company, Pensacola, Fla., a fish new to the fauna of 

 the United States, and believed to be new to science. This lish was 

 taken March 18, 1878, on the Snapper Bank, off Pensacola, in 35 

 fathoms of water. It was packed in ice, and arrived in good condition, 

 March 22, at the National Museum, where it was cast in plaster, and 

 sketched by Mr. Shindler. It is now a fine alcoholic specimen, No. 

 20,971 of the Fish Catalogue. 



Caulolatilas microps is related to the Brazilian form Caulolatilus 

 chrysops (Cuvier and Valenciennes) Gill, and the Cuban form Caulolatilus 

 cyanopx Poey, described in 1867.* Of the former, two specimens only
