GILL, Theodore. Extinct pediculate and 

 other fishes. 



Science (new series), xx, No. 520, Dec. l(i, 

 1904, pp. 844, 845. 

 The Eocene Mount Bolca Hisfionotus bassani 

 of Zigno has l)een recently renamed Histiono- 

 tophorus bassani by C. R. Eastman and 

 referred to the family Lophiidse. It is now 

 contended that the extinct fish was nearly 

 related to, and possibly congeneric with, the 

 Pterophryne histrio, and consequently was a 

 member of the family Antennariidx. 



Another Mount Bolca fish, named Crcnila- 

 brus or Symphodus szajnochx, it is claimed, 

 does not even belong to the same family as 

 Crenilabrus or Symphodus. Its affinities 

 appear to be rather with the Berychids, and 

 a new genus (,Bradyurus) is proposed for it.
