We have also examiued the origiual drawings made by Poey of his 

 Hynnis cubensis. This is, we think, not identical with Caranx crinituSy 

 but a valid species, closely allied to Caranx alexandrinus {= Hynnis 

 goreeims C & V. = Gallichthys a'gyptiacus Ehrenberg). It may stand 

 as Caranx cnhensis. 



The drawiu(:s of Scyris analis Poey, examined by us, are taken from 

 a large specimen. This agrees with specimens of equal size of Caranx 

 crinitus in all respects, except that the anterior anal rays are not ele- 

 vated in a lobe. We do not know how to account for this, but cannot 

 believe that it indicates a difference of species. 



The name ^^Chl'^roscomhrus stirnrus^^ on pages 206 and 207 is a lapsus 

 for C. orqueta. It is the MSS. name by which we at first designated 

 the latter species.

NOTES ON A COLLECTION OP PISHES PROM PENSACOLA, PLOR- 

 IDA. OBTAINED BY SILAS STEARNS, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OP 

 TWO NEW SPECIES {Exocatun rolador aud Gnathijjjojjti mystaciuus.) 



By DAVI0 S. JORDAIV. 



About January 1, 1884, a tank of fishes was sent to the museum of 

 the Indiana University by Mr. Silas Stearns, of Pensacola. This col- 

 lection was made up of fishes taken with hook and line on the " Snap- 

 per Banks," in water of considerable depth, and also of small fishes 

 taken from the stomachs of the Red Snapi)ers or " spewed up " by the 

 latter after being brought on the deck. Some of these small fishes in 

 the present collection, as in others made by Mr. Stearns, are of special 

 interest. 



1. Letharchus velifer Goode & Bean. 



I'lnm color in sjMrits, the head paler, but the belly dark ; dorsal white, 

 its edge abruptly blackish. 



2. Ophichthys chrysops Poey. 



3. Myrophis punctatua Liitken. 



4. Clupea pseudohispanica (Poey) Giinther. 



This s])ecimen seems to agree fully with others obtained by me in the 

 Havana market.
