972 CONTRIBUTIONS TO NORTH AMERICAN ICHTHYOLOGY - IV. 



the description of our species, T. stomiaa G. & B., on page 918, add: 

 Head 3; depth 4; Lat. 1. about 140. Body rather slender, compressed. 

 Scales smooth, with many accessory scales. 



1 'age ."i.". 7. The second interspinal bone of the anal is enlarged and pen- 

 shaped in the species of Stendtomits and Calamus. It is normal, and not 

 pen-shaped, in the typical species of the groups called Paynt/ij t$p<trn* 

 (Cht'yn<>])hryti)) Pagdlux, as well as in .IHplotlitti, Archosargus, and Layodoii. 



I 'age .V>7 (IU'D). Our suggestion, on page 9L>9, that Argyrops Sw. 

 should be substituted for Stenotonw8,i8 premature. The species called 

 Argyrops (xpinifcr, ehreribergi, auriga] bear a strong resemblance to 

 Ncnotomux caprhiiix, and according to Steindachner (Beitr. zur Keuntn. 

 Fische Afrika's, ii, 3, 4, 1882) their anterior teeth are somewhat com- 

 pressed. Professor Doderlein has, however, published (Giorii. Scieuz. 

 Xat. Econ. Palermo, xiv, 1879) photographs of the dentition of Pognin 

 ehraibcrfji C. & V., from which it appears that these teeth are really 

 robust canines and not incisors. Dr. H. E. Sauvage, who lias kindly 

 examined the specimens of "Pagrus spinifer" in the Paris Museum, 

 lias lately informed us that the dentition of this species is essentially 

 that of Spur UK pngrux, and different from that of Stcnototnus. 



Page 559. The description in the text of Dipl<><lns caudimacu1a was 

 drawn IVoni young specimens of J>. holbrooki, which may, however, prove 

 to be scarcely distinct from the true caudimacula of Cuba.
