 Yan der Hoeven {Hundh. d. Dlerh. ii. p. 347) has proposed the 

 name of D. himjeri for this fish, with which name it is described by 

 Dr. V. Bleekerin Verhand. Acad. Wctensch. Amsterd. i., Japan, i). 9.

Page 289. Centronotus crista galli. 



Professor Gill has sent me a notice of a Elennioid fish which I 

 consider identical with 0. crista galli, although, in his description, 

 he does not mention the longitudinal crest on the head. As the sheet 

 containing my description is printed, I regret that I am not able to 

 adopt the specific denomination proposed in his letter. But he very 

 truly observes that tlie gill-openings are separated by an isthmus, the 

 membranes not being connected with each other as in Centronotus. 

 The species, therefore, would belong to a diflerent genus, named by 

 Mr. GiU Anojyiarchus, the other characters of which are the same as 

 those of Centronotus. The name of the species ^vill be Anoplarchus 

 cn'sta gcdli.
