under three parts. Part I treats of the 

 characteristics of the "order Pediculati," 

 gives a synopsis of the " Pediculate fami- 

 lies," notices the "early Pediciilates," 

 and comments on "the families of Pedic- 

 ulates," giving numerous illustrations of 

 species of the six families. Part II treats 

 of "the habits of tj-pical Antennariids" 

 {Antcnnarius and PIcrophrync sp.). In 

 Part III the true egg-raft, like that of a 

 Lophiid, is illustrated and "the so-called 

 'nest' of the Frogfish" is noticed; the lat- 

 ter proves to be the result of deposition of 

 the filamentiferous eggs of a Flying-fish 

 (Exocoptid). The subfamily names Dol- 

 opichthyines (p. 580), Caulophrynines (p. 

 585), and Coelophrynines (p. 595) are pub- 

 lished for the first time. 



Systematic Zoology: its progress 



and purpcjst!. 



Advance print from the Proceed- 

 ings of the Seventh Interna- 

 tional Zoological Congress, Bos- 

 ton meeting, Aug. 19-24, 1907 

 (1910), pp. 1-21. 

 The same address as was published in 

 Science, Oct. 18, 1907 (vol. 26, pp. 489- 

 505), and in the Smithsonian Report for 

 1907 (pp. 449-471), but with a few trivial 

 modifications from the fonner, and the 

 addition of a footnote (p. 9) in Cuvier's 

 disputed Chiistian name, which is George 

 I..6opold Chretien Frederic Dagobert,and 

 without the new notes and 14 portraits of 

 the Smithsonian edition. 



A pica for olx^ervalion of the habits 



of fishes and again.st undue generaliza- 

 tion. — Address before the Fourth Inter- 

 national Fishery Congress held at Wash- 

 ington, U. S. A., September 22 to 26, 

 1908.

 Attention is called to the fact that "es- 

 sentials of some of our most esteemed 

 fishes are scarcely Imown beyond a very 

 small circle of pisciculturists,"' and the 

 Crappie (Pomoxi.s sparoidcs) iscited as" a 

 notable case." It is shown t!;at closely re- 

 lated species differ much in habits, as the 

 Wcls from the Glanis (Parasilurus aris- 

 totdis) and the Hassars ( Callichthy.i) from 

 Corydora-i. Nearly related fishes that ex- 

 ercise parental care may differ in details 

 of that care, as the Blackbass from the 

 Sunfish. There are also differences in the 

 characteristics of the sexes. For instance , 

 the male of the Lumpsucker is much 

 smaller than the female, but in the Bolti 

 of Egj-pt ( Tilapia nilotica) the male is the 

 larger. In many care-taking fishes the 

 males assume charge of the eggs, and it has

been assumed that they always do, but it 

 now appears that the females of numerous 

 Cichllds (as the Tilapias) take the eggs in 

 their mouths and so care for them. The 

 common eel is the subject of much misun- 

 derstanding. It is often urged that eels 

 must spawn in fresh water and that others 

 that have spawned reenter rivers, but it 

 is now well known to ichthyologists that 

 all spawning is done in the deep sea and 

 that no eels return after spawning. Sev- 

 eral cases of parasitism or commensalism 

 among fishes are noticed. Caution is 

 urged against excessive generalization 

 and the necessity of recognizing some in- 

 dividuality maintained. A "schedule for 

 observation" of fishes is added. 



The structural characteristics and 



relations of Apodal fishes.

 pp. 789, 790. 

 Abstract of a communication to the Na- 

 tional Academy of Sciences. The ordinal 

 characteristics of the restricted Apodes 

 are given. The order is limited to those 

 with maxiUaries clamping the rostral 

 region and without Intermaxillaries. The 

 homologies of the dentigerous bones are 

 considered, and the suborders of Enchely- 

 cephals and Colocephals are recognized.
