Gill. Theodore. The remarlcable 



story of a Greek fish, the Glanis. 



Oeo. Washington Univ. Bull., 

 V, No. 4, Dec, 1906, pp. 5- 

 13, figs. 1-.3. 

 After a reference to the Wels 

 (Sihinis glanis), the various pas- 

 sages of Aristotle relative to the 

 Glanis are reproduced. References 

 to them by Cuvier and Valenciennes. 

 Apostolides, Smith, and Boulenger 

 connecting them with the Wels are 

 noticed. The differences between 

 the Wels and Glanis are then con- 

 trasted, and agreement is declared 

 with Agassiz, Garman, Jordan, and 



Gill, Theodore — Continued., 



Hoffman. who recognized the 

 Glanis as a very distinct species — 

 Parasihirv.s aristutcUs. It is for 

 the first time illustrated by 3 fig- 

 ures obtained from the Smithsonian 

 Institution. 



Le Tondule (Fundula cyprino- 



donta) of Carbonnier an Fnihra. 



Science (n. s.), sxiv, Xo. 625, 

 Dec. 21, 1906, pp. 818-819. 

 The fish observed by Carbonnier 

 was erroneously named and was an 

 I'mbrid. the Umbra pygmaea or Mud- 

 fish of Xew York.

the flying-tishes. 



Science (n. s.), xsv. No. 628, 

 Jan. 11. 1907. p. 63. 

 The so-called nest attributed in 

 1871 to the Antennarid fish by L. 

 Agassiz was really the result of a 

 flying-fish's oviposition. The Pter- 

 ophryne oviposits and makes a raft 

 like the Angler (Lophius piscatoris) . 



Note on the genus Kuhlia. 



Proc. Acad. Xat. Sci. Phila., 

 Apr.. 1907. p. 150. 

 In contradiction of H. W. Fow- 

 ler, it is claimed that the name 

 Dules should be reserved for D. 

 anriga and the second section should 

 retain the name Kuhlia, given in 

 1861.

 position and care of young by male 

 parent, and the growth of young are 

 detailed. Different views as to its 

 economical value are compared.
