erences defy all our knowledge of the geographic distrihution of these 

 fishes. For examjtle, F. cxtcnsiis is a brackish-water fish of Cape San 

 Lucas; F. zebra, which is the basis of i*'. cebrinits, is a tisli of the mountain 

 streams of New Mexico, Colorado, and northeastward, while F. adinia is 

 found near the mouth of the Rio Grande. There is no doubt that the orig- 

 inal Fiindiiliis zehra is the species called zehrinus by us and kanso' by Gar- 

 man. It came from some point between "Fort Union and Fort Defiance." 

 In other words, it came from the head waters of the Canadian River or the 

 Rio (irande. No species of this type has been recorded from the upper 

 Rio Grande, but the species called zehrinus and lansw is in all the upper 

 waters of the Arkansas basin, to which the Canadian River belongs, and 

 doubtless in the streams above Fort Union. 



Page 646. To the synonymy of Fundulus zehrinus add: 



Fundulus Kansce, Gaeman, Monogr. Cj'prinoilouts, 103, -pi. 2, flg. 10, 1895, Kansas. 



This species (F. zehrinus) is rightly made the type of a new subgenus, 

 or possibly genus, Ptaticterits, by Garman. It has long, convoluted intes- 

 tines and very small pharyngeals. Fundulus seminolis (subgenus Fontiuus) 

 has short intestines and coarse pharyngeals. 



Page 648. Fundulus stellifer is wrongly referred by Garman to the syn- 

 onymy of F. catenatus. 



Page 649. Fundulus Uneatus is referred by Garman to the synonymy of 

 F. sciadicus, which reference seems to be correct. 



Fundulus aJhoJineatus, whicli Garman also refers to F. sciadicus, seems to 

 be a perfectly good species. It is certainly not F. sciadicus, 



Garman refers Fundulus conjluentus to the synonymy of /''. (jrandis, which 

 is probably not correct. 



Page 650. Garman's reference of Fundulus funduloidcs to the synonymy 

 of F. (jrandis may be correct. 



The 8i)ecies called Fundulus dovii in the text is an Aplocheilus and should 

 stand as : 



968(a). APLOCHEILUS DOVII (Giinther). 



Garman recognizes Zytjonectes as a distinct genus, l)ut its boundaries are 

 not easily defined. 



The description of Fundulus confluenius should be modified to include 

 the following, taken from the type : Head 3*; depth 4^. I). 11; scales 44 

 or fewer. A black si>ot on middle of membrane of last 3 dorsal rays. This 

 species resembles F. diaphanus rather than F. majalis. Fundulus ocellaris 

 seems to bo identical with F. ronfiuentus. 



Page 651. Garman refers Fundulus macdoualdi to the synonymy of F. 

 sciadicus, which is probably correct, but the reference of F. ftoripinuis to 

 the same synonymy is certainly wrong. 



Page 652. Garman refers F. pulvereus to the synonymy of F. grandis, 

 which is without warrant. 



Page 655. To the synonymy of Fundulus chriisotus add: 

 Gariilmsia arlingtonia, Goode & Bean, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 1879, 118, Arlington River, 

 Florida. (Type, No. 21308. Coll. Dr. Goodo.)
