  Remarks. 
  — 
  My 
  counts 
  appear 
  to 
  disagree 
  with 
  those 
  made 
  by 
  

   Snyder, 
  Wilby, 
  and 
  other 
  authors 
  because 
  I 
  have 
  inchided 
  all 
  the 
  

   rudimentary 
  fin 
  rays 
  at 
  the 
  beginning 
  of 
  each 
  fin, 
  apparently 
  not 
  

   counted 
  previously. 
  To 
  be 
  certain 
  of 
  my 
  fin 
  ray 
  counts, 
  the 
  skin 
  

   was 
  di.s.sected 
  away 
  from 
  one 
  side 
  of 
  each 
  fin 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  an- 
  

   terior 
  fin 
  rays. 
  This 
  revealed 
  usually 
  one 
  or 
  sometijnes 
  two 
  rudi- 
  

   mentar}' 
  fin 
  rays, 
  and 
  thus 
  the 
  counts 
  by 
  Snyder 
  and 
  by 
  Wilby 
  should 
  

   be 
  increa.sed 
  by 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  to 
  bring 
  them 
  into 
  line 
  with 
  my 
  counts.

  Genotype. 
  — 
  Oobiesox

  Rosa 
  Smith. 
  

  

  This 
  new 
  genus 
  may 
  be 
  recognized 
  from 
  all 
  otjier 
  genera 
  of 
  Gobie- 
  

   .socidae 
  by 
  the 
  characters 
  descriFn'd 
  in 
  the 
  key 
  on 
  |)ag{'s 
  40-.50. 
  It 
  is

  groove 
  

   across 
  front

  Otber 
  characters 
  are
