Page 751. No. 1140 (&), Batrachus parclus Goode & Bean, should 

 probably be considered a distinct species. It is a deep-water form, with 

 flabby skin. 



Page 751. Instead of Porichthys porosissimus read: 

 115O. P. margaritatus (Rich.) J. & G. 



Omit from the synonymy Batraclms porosissimus C. Y. (a species 

 from Surinam, the identity of which with our species is not proven) 

 and insert (Batraclms margaritatns Richardson,Yoyage Sulphur. Fishes, 

 07). P. maryaritatus appears to range from Lower California to Van- 

 couver's Island.

Coloration essentially as in P. margaritatus, but rather paler and 

 more golden; the lines of pores and shining spots very similar. Pala- 

 tines eaeli with few teeth (4 or 5) ; 1 to 3 of these developed as very 

 ^trmig canines (usually much larger than the canines on vomer), which 

 are strongly curved forwards and inwards (in P. )ii(ir</<trit(ttux the pala- 

 tine teeth are more numerous, suln-qual, small, much smaller than ca- 

 nines on vomer). Head :5 : ; depth 5-;. 1). 11-37; A. 34; V. I, 2. L. 8 

 inches. South < 'arolina to Texas.
