ADDENDA 107. COTTID^E URANIDEA. 953 



Page 694. Instead of Uranidea spilota read: 

 1O54. U. ricci (Nelson) J. & G. 



Erase the synonym " Uranidea spilota Cope," etc. U. spilota is prob- 

 ably a distinct species, allied to- U. coynata. 



Page 695. After Uranidea semiscabra add: 

 1O56 (c). U. rBiothea Rosa Smith. 



Dusky, with blackish cross bands above, yellowish and punctulate 

 below; fins all more or less spotted and barred. Body moderately 

 elongate. Head broad and flattish; interorbital space broad and little 

 concave, nearly as broad as eye. Mouth moderate, the maxillary ex- 

 tending about to middle of pupil; jaws subequal; palatine teeth con- 

 spicuous; preopercular spine shortish, nearly straight, directed upward 

 and backward. Skin of head smooth; skin of back and sides rough, 

 with short, rather coarse prickles, shorter and stifle r than in U. aspera.

 bia River.

Page 697. Under Uranidea ricliardsoni add another "variety" var. 

 kumlieni (Hoy). 



The original type of U. kumlieni Hoy, lately re-examined by us, has 

 palatiue teeth, and the ventrals I, 4. It represents, in our present 

 view, a variety of U. ricliardsoni, possibly distinguishable from var. 

 bairdi by the rather higher spiuous dorsal and rather larger eye and 

 mouth. The description of u U.franYiini^ on page 699, belongs to U. 

 Jcumlieni, being taken from Hoy's type. 



Page 698. To the account of Uranidea cognata may be added: Mouth 

 larger than in Uranidea yobio; head 3 iu length without caudal; its 

 width equal to its length and half more than its height; jaws equal; 

 vent a little nearer suout than insertion of caudal ; second dorsal twice 

 as long as first, separated from it by a space less than a line; anal be- 

 ginning opposite sixth ray of dorsal; caudal 6 iu total length. Under 

 surface silvery gray, minutely dotted; on the sides the dots are mingled 

 with crowded irregular blotches of dark brown; back and top of head 

 nearly uniform dark brown, few pale spots appearing. L. 4 inches.
