974 CONTRIBUTIONS TO NORTH AMERICAN ICHTHYOLOGY IV. 



Page 945. To tbe account of Gobius encceonms add: 

 Head 4; depth 5$. D. VI-llj A. 12; Lat, 1. 37. 



Page 104. Instead of Amiurus catus read, 98. A. nebulosus (Le S.) Gill. 







The Silunts cut us L. is not this fish, and is not identifiable. 



Page 358 (899, 9G9). The proper type of the genus Ophiclitlujs Ahl. 

 (De .~\[i(r(t>na et Opltichtho 1789) is Murcena ophis L. The name Ophichthys 

 should therefore be used as on page 358, for the species with sharp 

 teeth. Those with granular teeth (Pisodontophis Kaup) should be 

 called 0p/m'?fns (Lace"pede, ii, 195, 1800: type 0. opliis Lac., nee L.). 

 Our species suould stand as, 584 (&). Ophisiirus acuminatus (Gronow) 

 J. &G. 



Page 440. The caudal peduncle in "Selene" setipinnis is armed as in 

 Caranxj but more feebly. 



Page 442. Instead of Tracliynotus ovatus read, 697. T. rhomboides 

 (Bloch) C. & V. (= Chcetodon rhomboides Bloch, Ichthyol. pi. 209.) 

 The true T. ovatus, from the East Indies, is thought by Liitken to be 

 specifically different. 



Page 532 * No. 835 may stand as Polyprion cernium Val. EpinepK- 

 elus oxygeneios is said to be a species of Oligorus. 



Page 73G. Instead of Prionotus evolans read, 1126. P. sarritor Jor. & 

 Gilb.; and instead of subsp. lineatus read, 1126 (&). P. strigatus C. & V. 

 Triyla evolans L. is not identifiable, and Trigla lineata Mitchill was an 

 erroneous identification of T. lineata Bloch. 



* The corrections suggested on this page and the preceding have not been intro- 

 duced into the table of contents.
