published aeooixat of that species* than with any other known American soby. 
It differs strikingly from that species in that the stjoamation exteMs mneh 
farther forward, to nnder the beginning of the first dorsal, instead of to 
\mder its end. The scales in £. rooseyelti appear to be larger and there are 
one or two fewer rays la the vertical fins. This is the first species of 
Pynnrti^a. froffl ths Atlantic, and the second species of the genus now to be 
made known.
