The accompanying outline figures represent species described by 

 me, in a paper read before the Academy, October 17th, 1859 : 



Fig. 4. Anoplopoma merlangus (Proc. Cal. Acad. Nat, Sc. 

 vol. 2, p. 27). 



Fig. 6. Orthagoriscus analis (op. cit. p. 31). 



Fig 6. iStereolepis gigas (op. cit. p. 28). Since the date of the 

 original publication, I have had opportunity to examine a number 

 of specimens of this species. They were all taken below Point 

 Conception, where, as I ventured the statement of probability, they 

 are by no means uncommon. They are known by the fishermen as 

 " Jew fish." The inspection of these specimens has shown that in 

 one point my generic diagnosis, and the figure, need correction ; 

 the two dorsals are not " remote " but contiguous, the membrane 

 from the last spine of the first extending to the base of the com- 

 mencing spine of the second. 



Fig. 7. lihina calif ornica (^Squatina calif ornica op. cit. p. 29). 



Fig. 8. Sebastes helvomaculatus (op. cit. p. 26). 



Fig. 9. Sebastes elongatus (op. cit, p. 26). 



Fig. 10. Hippoglossus californicus (op. cit. p. 29). 



Torpedo calif ornica, (Ayres) (op. cit. vol. 1, p. 70) called by 

 GirsLvd, JVarcine californica (P. R. R. Report, vol. 10, p. 371) is to 

 be included in Narcacion, (Klein) and becomes therefore Narca- 

 cion californica.
