§5§. P. areuiatjss C. & V. 
(Cuv. & Val. iii, 101, 1829. The original Anthias macroplithalmus Bloch, is a different 
species. ) 
Page 549. Liitjanus hJacl^fordi, the Red Snapper, seems to be identi- 
cal with L. campechianus. It ranges southward to Aspinwall. 
Pages 534, 553. The Perea formosa of Liun. is the Serramis fascicu- 
laris of C. & V., and not the Biabasis formosus of the' text. The former 
should, therefore, stand as Serranus formosus (L.) J. & G. and the latter 
as Biabasis plumieri* (Lac.) J. & G. 
Page 538 (918). The description of Trisotropis hrunneus, on page 538, 
should be canceled, the species not being known from our coast. To
