  Remarks. 
  — 
  The 
  following 
  notes 
  on 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  Gohiesox 
  marmora- 
  

   tus 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  from 
  "Archipelago 
  of 
  Chiloe," 
  made 
  by 
  Dr. 
  

   W. 
  H. 
  Longlefy, 
  were 
  kindly 
  turned 
  over 
  to 
  me 
  by 
  Dr. 
  S. 
  F. 
  

   Hildebrand 
  : 
  

  

  Two 
  specimens 
  of 
  T. 
  L. 
  [total 
  length] 
  56 
  and 
  64 
  mm. 
  considerably 
  macerated, 
  

   the 
  smaller 
  better 
  preserved. 
  D. 
  12; 
  A. 
  10; 
  the 
  last 
  anal 
  ray 
  missing, 
  but 
  its 
  

   support 
  still 
  evident. 
  The 
  pectoral 
  both 
  sides 
  with 
  23 
  rays 
  including 
  the 
  rudi- 
  

   mentary 
  one 
  above. 
  In 
  the 
  larger 
  fish 
  D. 
  12, 
  A. 
  11. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  small 
  fish 
  again 
  I 
  found 
  that 
  the 
  membranous 
  structure 
  at 
  pectoral 
  

   base 
  is 
  evident 
  for 
  only 
  half 
  the 
  vertical 
  height 
  of 
  the 
  fin 
  but 
  that 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  

   half, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  present, 
  it 
  exists 
  as 
  a 
  very 
  evident, 
  freely 
  projecting 
  lobe. 
  

  

  On 
  very 
  careful 
  examination, 
  I 
  find 
  that 
  the 
  opercular 
  cleft 
  extends 
  dorsally 
  

   about 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  pectoral 
  ray.
