 ical characters of the fishes of the sub- 

 order Percesoces. 



Proc. U.S. Nat Mas., xxii.No. 1179, Oct. 7, 

 1899, pp. 1-10, pis. I-III. 



In this paper the author gives the results of 

 a study of the skeletons of several representa- 

 tives of the families Atherinidae, Mugilidse, 

 and SphjTKnidiB. 



This study leads him to conclude that these 

 families are not so closely allied to each other 

 as their external similarity would lead one to 

 suppose.

 This paper is a comparative study of Dino- 

 lestes and the Sphyrsnidae and Cheilodipteri-

 to be with the Cheilodipterids rather than 

 with the Sphyrsenidae.
