Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xxvii, No. 1408, 
July 6, 1905, pp. 805-814. 
After a section (1) on the characteristics of 
the family of Hippocampids and the genus 
Hippocampus, the habits of the sea-horses are 
considered in paragraphs relating to (2) their 
attitudes and movements, (4) their food, and 
(5) the sexual relations and manner of trans- 
fer of eggs from female to pouch of male. In 
concluding paragraphs, (6) the specific char- 
acters of four species are illustrated, and (7) 
some foreign relations of the subfamily of 
solegnathines noticed. 
The family of cyprinids end the 
carp as its type. 
Smithsonian Misc. Colls. Quar. issue, 
XLVIII, pt. 2, No. 1591, Sept. 8, 1905, pp. 
195-217, pls. XLV-LVIII. 
After introductory remarks follow discus- 
sions of relations to the cyprinids, character- 
istics of the cyprinids, especially those of the 
pharyngeal bonesand teeth, distribution, and 
sexual differentiation. The ‘‘life history of 
the carp’’ is then considered (pp. 202-210), 
and this is followed by notices of other note- 
worthy cyprinids of Europe whose names 
have been perverted in other parts of the 
world to very different fishes. In addition to 
the four families recognized by the author in 
1861 a new one (Gyrinochilidz) is proposed 
(p. 196) for a remarkable generic type from 
Borneo (Gyrinochilus). 
—— Flying fishes and their habits. 
Rep. Smithsonian Inst., 1904 (1905), pp. 
495-515, pls. 1-4. 
After preliminay remarks on flight in gen- 
eral, the flying fishes are considered in two 
categories: 
I. The exoccetoid flying fishes (497-508) 
are treated of with respect to (1) their adap- 
tation for flight and the actual or alleged 
facts, (2) their food, (8) their procreation, (4) 
their enemies, (5) their economical value, 
and (6) the major differences among them- 
selves. 
Il. The Dactylopterids, or flying gur- 
nards (508-515), are likewise discussed with 
respect to (1) their characteristics and flight, 
(2) their food, (3) the sounds they utter, (4) 
their later developmental stages, and (5) their 
capture.
