Some of these have the mouth subinferior, the barbels conspicuous, 
forming a tuft at the chin ; the dorsal spines 10 and the caudal double- 
truucate; the gill-rakers short. The diagnosis should be amended 
accordingly. 
Page 570. Instead of Seiccna punctata read: 
§96. S. elirysui’a (Lac.) J. & G. 
{Dipterodon Lac^pede iii, 64, 1802.) 
There are two species called Perea punctata in the Systema Naturae, 
and the second of these should be suppressed. 
Page 577. Instead of the account of Menticirrus littoralis substitute: 
9©§. 31. littoralis (Holbr.) Gill. — Surf TFliitiu;). 
Grayish .silvery, nearly plain, without traces of bars ; pectorals, ven- 
trals, and anal pale, with a few black dotsj caudal tipped with blackish; 
lining of opercle pale. Body rather elongate, the caudal peduncle very 
slender; snout bluntish, 3 in head, projecting beyond premaxillary for 
about one-sixth its length; maxillary reaching about to front of eye; 
j)osterior nostid lanceolate; outer teeth little enlarged, very much 
smaller than in M. alburnus. Gill-rakers small, but developed; lower 
lobe of caudal longest. Scales on breast very small, irregular. Head 
3J-; depth 4f. 1). X-I, 23; A. I, 7; scales, G-5U-11. South Atlantic 
and Gulf coast. M. nndulatns is closely related to this species. 
M. alburnua is darker in color, usually with traces of dusky bars; 
pectorals blackish ; lining of opercle black. Snout sharp, 3| in head ; 
snout much projecting (one-third its length). Outer teeth of upper jaw 
very large; i^osterior nostril ovate; gill-rakers tubercular, almost obso- 
lete ; maxillary about reaching middle of eye. Scales on breast large, 
regularlj’ placed. Head 3^ ; depth 4^. D. X-I, 24 ; A. I, 7 ; scales 6- 
54-11. 
Page 578. Menticirrus undniatus has the outer teeth of the upper jaw 
not greatly enlarged and should have been placed rather under a instead 
of aa. Umbrina elongata Gthr., from the Pacific coast of tropical America, 
is a diliereut species. The latter name should be erased from the synon- 
ymy of M. undiilatus. 
Page 578. The teeth in Larimus are mostly in single series. The 
genus Monosira^^ Poey (Anal. Soc. Esp. Hist. Xat., x, 32G, li58l), is 
identical with Larimus. 
Page 570. The genus Atractoscion should be suppressed. Our species 
may stand as 012, Cynoscion nobile (Ayres) J. & G.
