REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM. 233 



5. Coryphcena equisetis, L. (? or hippurus, L.), 13 examples of rather 



small size. 



6. Aprion ariommus, Jor. & Gilb., a species recently described in 



Proc. Xat, Mus. for 1883, pp. 142, 143. 



Silas Steams, Pensacola, Fla. Part of accession 12991; catalogue, 

 33000-33001. The first of these is an example of Conger caudiculo. 

 Bean, the second one known in this Museum. The other is Antenna- 

 rius pleur ophthalmitis, Gill, which has not been previously obtained for 

 many years. 



Silas Stearns, Pensacola, Fla. Accession 12991 ; catalogue, 32755-32767. 

 Among these fishes were two which have not before been known to 

 occur in Florida ; these are Brotula barbata, (Bl. Schn.) Cuv., a species 

 of the Caribbean and West Indies, and a new species of Phycis, 

 Phyeis floridanus, Bean & Dresel, a manuscript species about to be 

 described in Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., Vol. II. 



Silas Stearns, Pensacola, Fla. Accession 12991 part; catalogue, 

 32632-32637, 32647. Among the species are the following rare ones : 

 Diplodus sp., Tylosurus gladius, Bean, Diplodus caudimacula, Poey, Cau- 

 lolatilus microps, Goode & Bean. Batrachus pardus, Goode & Bean, 

 Ophichthys guttifer, Bean & Dresel, a new species just described in 

 manuscript for Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., Vol. n. 



Dr. Leonard Stejneger, Commander Islands and Kamtschatka. Accession 



; catalogue, 33804-33908. This is a collection of great value, 



which was made by Dr. Stejneger during the years 1882 and 1883, 

 while in the service of the Signal Bureau, U. S. A. The collection is 

 valuable because of its bearing upon geographical distribution and 

 from the fact that it contains many hitherto doubtful Pallassian spe- 

 cies from localities visited by Steller, besides others which appear to 

 be undescribed. The species are not yet fully identified, but the fol- 

 lowing may be mentioned as reasonably ascertained : 



33806, 33837. Cyclopterichthys species, two specimens from Ber- 

 ing Island. The genus is extremely rare in collections, and 

 very little known, save from a description by Dr. Steiudachner, 

 which is accompanied by a good figure. Pallas described the 

 fish under the name Cyclopterus ventricosus, and Steindachner 

 re-described it as Cyclopterichthys glaber. Our specimens are. 

 in all probability, C. ventricosus. 



33807. Gymnacanthus galeatus, Bean. I did not learn much from 

 the type of G. pistilliger in Berlin, because of its very bad con- 

 dition. It may be that my species is, after all, identical with 

 that of Pallas, but of this I cannot be sure. 



33809. Hypomesus, probably olidus. 



33817. Coitus diceraus from Kamtschatka, the original locality of 

 the species. 



33821. Pleurogrammus monopterygius from Bering Island, extend- 

 ing its range very much to the westward.
