Page 550. Conodon C. & V. slioukl be recognized as a distinct genus. 
Page 550. To the account of Conodon nohilis add: 
Series of scales above lateral line, forming series i)arallel ^yith the 
lateral line ; anterior limb of preopercle witli strong spinous teeth di- 
rected forwards. In all our species of Pomadasys the scales above the 
lateral line form series not parallel with the lateral line. 
Page 551. Fomadasys fasciatus is identical with P. fidvomaculatus and 
should be suppressed. Instead of “ Lat. 1. 75,” in the description of the 
latter species, read ‘‘Lat. 1. 57.” 
Page 551. After hb, etc., add: 
c. Body short and deep ; the hack arched; spines strong ; outer teelh enlarged ; lips 
thick; soft dorsal and anal with small scales. (Anisotremus Gill.) 
Page 552. In the descri])tion of P. add “scales 10-55-lG.” 
Page 552. Fomadasys biUneatus has been lately taken in Florida by 
Dr. J. A. Henshall. Scales 6-35-13; about 45 pores in lat. 1. The 
specimens from California referred to this species probably belong to 
the following: 
SYl (b). P. mteB’riaptus (Gill) J. it G. 
Adult grayish; each scale on upper anterior j^art of body with a dis- 
tinct blackish spot; fins all more or less dusky. Young (!) {interruptus) 
with the spots obsolete; sides with two parallel jet-black bands, the 
lower from eye backward nearly but not quite reaching a large black 
blotch at base of caudal. Back arched ; [lectoral a little shorter than 
head; second anal spine robust, half length of head, longer than fourth 
dorsal spine. Scales very large, especially below spinous dorsal, where 
they are much larger than in P. biUneatus. Head 3; depth 2J. D. 
XII, 16; A. Ill, 9; scales 7-34-12; pores about 45. San Diego (!) to 
Panama.

Brownish; sides of head and body with seven or eight conspicuous 
wavy longitudinal bauds of light blue, edged with dusky. Back some- 
what elevated; snout long, compressed; mouth large, the maxillary 
reaching to below eye; eye 14 in snout, 3J in body. Head 3^ (in total); 
depth about the same. D. XII, 16 ; A. II, 9 ; scales 8-50-16. AYest
