 Page 468. Under Clmnobryttus gulosus read: "Head2.J; depth 2^." 



Page 482. Under Lcpomis liolbroold read: "Head 3"; and under Le- 

 pomis notatus read: "D. X, 12." 



Page 485. Instead of Nicroptcruf; dolomieu, read M. dolomiei. This 

 personal name should have the genitive form. 



Page 523. Under Perm, tenth line from bottom, add : "Lower limb of 

 preopercle with strong antrorse teeth." 



Page 525, tenth line, under Stizosteclium, add: "Lower limb of pre- 

 opercle with a few antrorse teeth."

 snout short and blunt ; jaws and all the bones of the head covered with

Red or reddish, with three small violet spots on the side of the back 

 and one on the tail; sides with oblique streaks; dorsal fiu with a longi-

 1 hough the occurrence of the species within our limits is very probable.
