In alcohol; brown on back, sides and lower surface silvery- 
white, also iris. No silvery lateral band but line of demar- 
cation along back contrasted. Fins ail pale. 
Seven examples from Gallao, Peru, and Valparaiso, Chile, 
90 to 140 mm. An example in the Academy from Pecasmayo Ray, 
Peru, 115 mm. long, also included with the above. 
Our examples agree with the account by Jenyns as far 
as it allows. E. pulchellus Girard is a aynonym, though his 
figure(7) shows about 50 scales in a lateral series to the 
caudal base and 2 more on latter, and about 135 transversely. 
Evermann and Radcliffe have retained E. nasus Kner and 
Steindachner in Engreulis as a questionable species, though 
it is certsinly an Anchoviella. An example in the Academy

probably from P¢casmayo Bay, Peru, when compared, in every 
way substentiates this view. As the two forms are similar 
in many ways the following notes are given for the Pecas- 
mayo Bay example of nasus (Kner and Steindachner).
