Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History). 256 SYSTEMATIC REVISION OF THE TELEOST FAMILY CARAPIDAE Two of the species included within this group, Fierasfer margaritiferae and Carapus parvihrachium, could not be examined in such detail as the rest owing to the presence of a large reniform, calcareous body lying in the midline in the anterior part of the body. This structure, presumably the anterior part of the swim-bladder, effectively concealed parts of the second, third and fourth vertebrae. So far as they could be seen, however, they appeared similar in general structure to those of

The edges of the lower jaw are flat and parallel, the proximal portion is small and at its tip the jaw first narrows, then expands again as a small knob (Text-fig. 3b). a lateral ridge runs from this knob, across the narrowed portion of the jaw and as far as the articulation with the skull.

Nobre included a figure, but this is unrecognizable. It seems probable that these records relate either to C. birpex or to C. cuspis, not to C. acus at all.

C. birpex resembles the Indo-Pacific species C. homei in having enlarged jaw teeth, but differs from this species in the absence of an outer row of strong teeth in the lower jaw. C. cuspis, on the other hand, resembles C. acus in many respects, particularly in the dentition of the jaw
