— Black Sea. — J). 14. A. 18 ; teeth none. — The description is not 

 only insufficient, but evidently incorrect : the author states first that

 height of the body is equal to tlie length of the head, and two-ninths of 

 the total (with the caudal).

 example is in so bad a condition as to be useless for comparison 

 witli the otlior allied species ; and as no specific differences are pointed 

 out in Dr. Bleeker's description, the species must remain doubtful 

 at present.
