In 1873 I called attention to the occurrence of the young of this 

 species on the coast of New England and Long Island, and suggested 

 its relation to the Monolepis inermis of Say. Since then a great 

 number of the megalops have been taken in Vineyard Sound by Mr. 

 V. N. Edwards, and, eai'ly in September, 1875, I took several speci- 

 mens swimming at the surface in the same region. One of the latter 

 specimens, after being kept alive for some days, buried itself in the 

 sand preparatory to molting, but died before this was fully accom- 

 plished. The molting was sufficiently advanced, however, to show 



*The sign of equality (=), as here introduced after a reference, is used to indicate 

 that the description, mention, or whatever account of the species may be given in the 

 work referred to, is apparently based wholly on the previous account given by the 

 author whose name follows the sign.
