Teuthis hepatus. Acanthurus cMmrgus. 



(84) Skin, 11 in. long', well preserved, but without any mark. 

 Labelled by Linne TEUTHIS Hepatus. 



No reference in Garden's letters can be applied to this 

 specimen. Goode & Bean (p. 205) speak of it as a " type," 

 but Linne does not refer to it in the ' Syst. Nat.,' his references 

 applying partly to an Atlantic, partly to an Indian species. 



Gasterosteus canadus (type). Elacate Canada. 



(85) Skin, 15^ in. long, in bad condition. 



Garden's label : " No. 7 " ; and in Linne's handwriting " Gas-

Clupea thrissa. Chatoessus cepedianus. 



(88, 89) Two skins, 5| and 8^ in. long, without marks. Labelled 

 by Linne CLUPEA Thrissa. 



There is no doubt that these specimens are mentioned by 

 Linne in the 12th edition under Clvpi'U thrissa, with which 

 species he confounded them, as shown by Goode & Beau, p. 206.
