880 CONTRIBUTIONS TO NORTH AMERICAN ICHTHYOLOGY IV. 
Amer, 18G0, 401), described from a specimen sent from San Francisco, 
should probabl}' not be included in this work. The species is abundant 
on the west coast of Mexico, from which region the typical specimen was 
most likely obtained.

Page 92. The group here called Litliolepis is to be considered as a 
section of Lepidosteiis rather than as a distinct genus. The name 
Atractosteus (Eaf. Ichth. Oh. 1820, 73) should probably bn adopted in- 
stead of Liiliolepis. The name Litliolepis adamantinus was given to a 
drawing by IMr. Audubon. A copy of this drawing was preserved by 
Eafinesque in his field-note book, which we have examined. It is evi- 
dently a fancy sketch, like the “ Pogostoma,’’’ “Ajdocentrus,-^ “Eurysto- 
and other ichthyological myths, which the humorous artist im- 
posed on the credulous naturalist. Esox viridis L. was undoubtedly 
intended for Lepidosteus osseus.
