Page 531. In key under /(, for "incomplete" read "complete." 



Page 537. We can not separate Si/nodiis JenJdnsi from ,'^ynodus siihiliceps, 

 and the former name should probably be abandoned. 



Page 555. Macrostoma angustidcns .and related species need further 

 study. The synonymy and application of the names atigii^tidens, elongatus, 

 and resplendens are uncertain. Macrostoma hrachycJnr is probably a good 

 species. 



In M. caudisplnosnm the dorsal has 20, not 36, rays. 



Page 580. The generic name liouaparfia, Goode & Bean, is preoccu- 

 ]iied in ornithology. For its use in fishes the name Zapliotias is proposed, 

 taking the same spt'cies {peduJioia) as type. The genus and its species 

 would then stand as follows : 



274. ZAPHOTIAS, Goode & Bean, new generic name. 



{Zapliotias, having organs which emit light; Z,a, intensive particle; ^a^s, 

 light.) 



872. ZAPHOTIAS PEDALIOTUS (Goode & Bean). 



Page 582. Ci/clotlioiie microdon occurs also in Bering Sea in very deep 

 water. 



Page 586. Astronesthes is from ddrpov, star; k6^)y']c,, vestment. 



Page 594. Plagijodus (Stellar) should probably supersede Alepisaurm, 

 in which case the family becomes Plagj/odonlidn: 



Page 603. Stcrnoptyx diaphana is common off both the .Japanese and 

 IlaAvaiian islands. 



Page 608. For Aldrorandia, Goode & Bean, substitute the earlier name 

 Halosauropsis, Collett.
