The coloration of the types of '..iferruptm is as follows : 

 Dull grayish, somewhat bluish above ; scales auteriorly with iucoii- 

 spiciious darker spots. A wavy, sharjily-defiued black band through 

 snout and eye, to opposite last ray of dorsal, where it ends abruptly. 

 Behind it, at base of caudal, is a large oval black blotch. A similar 

 black stripe from above eye straight to middle of base of soft dorsal. 

 Veutrals black, other fins more or less tinged with dusky, the pectorals 

 and spinous dorsal ])alest. If these prove to be the young of Poma- 

 dasys f'Hrtlii, the name interrtiptus is to be substituted for f'drthi. This 

 question cannot be settled with the material now at hand. 



41. Girella nigricans (Ayres) Gill. 



(Girella nigricans ^Girelladorsirnacula Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Pliila. 1862,244.) 

 20320. (Type of OireJla dorsimaeula.) A partly grown specimen, 

 showing the pale blotch on the back by the side of the dorsal tin, char- 

 acteristic of the young of this species. 



42. Pimelepterus analogus Gill. 



(Pimelepteriis analogus Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Pbila. 1862,24^ = Fimelejyterus eJegans 

 Peters, Berliner Mouatsber. 1869, 707.) 



3001. (Types of Fimelepterus analogus.) In poor condition. 



43. Apogon retrosella (Gill) J. & G. 



(Amhi retrosella Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1862, 251.) 



2451. (Types of Amia retrosella.) Seven specimens, in fair condition, 

 li to 3^ niches in length. 



2997. Four specimens, in poor condition. 



4001, 4002, 4003. (Types of J.wj« retrosella.) Three half grown speci- 

 mens, in fair condition. 



4413. (Types of Amia retrosella.) Three specimens. 



44. Upeneus dentatus Gill. 



iU2)encHs dvniatus Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1862, 256.) 



3G99. (Types of Uiieneus dentatus.) Three young examples, about 4 

 inches in length, in good condition. This species has not been obtained 

 by any other collector. It is well distinguished from the common Upe- 

 neus grandisquamis Gill. Compared with the young oi grandisquamis of 

 the same &ize, dentatus is more slender, less comjiressed, with smaller 

 scales^ very much larger eye, much weaker teeth, and the dorsal out- 

 line less arched. 



45. Umbrina dorsalis Gill. 



( Umhrina dorsalis Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Pliila. 1862, 257.) 



3096. (Types of Umhrina dorsalis.) Ten specimens, the largest 4 inches 

 long. 



46. Umbrina xanti Gill. 



{Umhrina jcanti Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1862, 257= Umbrina analis Giiuther, 

 Traus. Zool. Soc. London, 1869, 426.) 



7156. (Types of Umhrina xanti.) Three young examples, the largest 

 nearly 4 inches long.
