* The Teuthis crestonis has been described by Jordan and Starks in a memoir on the Fishes of Sina- 

 loa received .jnst before the revised proof of the present communication. It appears therefrom that 

 Dr. Jordan has reverted to the use of Teuthis in the sense here defended, as indeed he had previously 

 informed me by letter he would do.
