Note 8 (163). — The /Sticharium favescens or Clinus Jiavescens of Huttoii is diftereiitiiitt'd from 

 other types (aud especially Ericentrus) by the form, more_ nearly even dorsal with a short-rayed 

 portion (abont 38 spines + G rays), and imperfect lateral line; it may appropriately be desig- 

 nated as Cologramvius {hoXos, ciirtailed + y/Da/jjja, line). 



Note 9 (171). — The Tripterygion fenestratum of most authors appears to be distinguished from 

 the tyj)ical species of Tripterygion by the less divided dorsal with a shorter median portion and by 

 the form of the sub-percuhim, as well as general aspect. It may therefore be called NotocUnusfen 

 estratns. 



Note 10 (205, 200). — The Pleuronectes scaphvs of Forster and Psevdorhombus hoops of Hector 

 constitute a peculiar genus, viz : 



Caulopsetta. — Psettine Pleuronectids with " teeth rather large, conical, pointed, the lateral 

 ones of the upper jaw the shortest," lateral line with a distinct arch in front, " scales ctenoid," 

 moutli moderate, iutcrorbital area very narrow, and iimiicroiis (l(irs;il and anal rays. ('CKavXos, 

 stalk quasi ray + Wt^Tra, flatfish, in analogy with I'olyantlun Giiiithfr.) 



Type C. scaphus = Psewdorhombus acaphus (Forst.) Hiitton. 



The genus is apparently related to Arnoglossus, Syacium, and Cithdrivlithys rathei- than to Para- 

 Uchtliys ( = Pscudorhombws). The long base of the ventral on the ridge of the abdomen, the compara- 

 tively short mandible, and the absence of any caudal constriction widely separate it from Pxeu- 

 dorhombus or Paralichthys.
