irregularly barred and reticulated with chocolate-brown. Lower surface 

 from chin to vent paler than rest of body. 



A very satisfactory revision of Bermuda fishes by T. H. Bean may be 

 found in Field Columbian Museum, Zoological Series, Vol. 7, 1906, pp. 

 21-89, and Proc. Biol. Soc, Wash., Vol. 25, 1912, pp. 121-126. Stolephorus 

 viridis, described p. 122 of the latter publication, is obviously from the 

 description not an anchovy but a herring. A series of about 40 individu- 

 als so labeled in the present collection are identified as Jenkinsia stolifera, 

 of which viridis may be considered as a synonym and which should replace 

 it in the Bermuda list. 



The following species are additions to this list: Gymnothorax (Lyco- 

 dontis) miliaris, Tylosurus notatus, Halocypselus evolans, Syngnathus 

 louisianae, Prionodes tigrinus, Eleotris pisonis, Gobius translucens. 



Gobius translucens is a species recently described from Porto Rico. It 

 is close to G. glancofraenum, but apparently distinct. Earlier Bermuda 

 records for glancofraenum may refer to it. The identification of certain 

 pipe-fishes is difficult and fraught with the possibility of error. In the 

 case of Syngnathus louisianae, a large specimen which has been com- 

 pared with a series from the coast of the United States in the American 

 Museum of Natural History, there is no doubt. There are several spec- 

 imens of Syngnathus pelagicus in the collection which can not be dis- 

 tinguished from material from floating weed in the east-central North 

 Atlantic with which they have been compared.
