 Powells Point and Clarence Harbour [Exjyed. Geogr. Soc.). 



Nannocampus nanus n. sp. Fig. 4. 



Body and tail compressed. Snout very short, only a little longer than diameter 

 of orbit, turned upwards, much shorter than postorbital part of head. Sides of 

 body with two ridges, which Join above vent and continue as one ridge on the tail. 

 Two ridges on the back, one on each side, continuing on the tail. Belly with one 

 median ridge, not continuing on the tail. All the ridges are very indistinct, hardly 

 distinguishable ; they seem to be abrupted. Rings not distinct. Pectorals, ventrals 

 and anal wanting. Dorsal present, but depressed by preservation so that I have 

 not been able to count the number of rays. Caudal very small. Ground colour 

 yellowish. Head, body and tail with narrow black cross lines, broader than the 

 interspaces between them. One specimen has a split on the underside of the tail. 

 In this the eggs are attached, being covered laterally by a fold of the skin, but 

 these folds do not meet in the median line. 



A very small species, the longest being 32 mm. The one carrying eggs 

 measures only 25 mm. (collected in July). I collected five specimens of this rather 

 interesting form among dead corallines along the beach at Mastic Point on Andros. 



Hippocampus punctulatus, Guichenot. 



Collected at Red Bay on the north-western side of Andros. Governors Harbour
