" There has recently been sent to the Smithsonian Institution from Panama, by Captain J. M. Dow, a new species of the genus Anableps. The number of the species of the genus is now increased to four, all of which, with the exception of the one now to be described, are from the Caribbean Sea, along the northern coast of South America.

Preliminary to a description of the new species, we give a diagnosis of the genus, in order not to be obliged to insert as specific characters those which are really generic "
