 HIPPOCAMPIDiE. 



HIPPOCAMPUS, sp. 



Seahorse. 



Two specimens, apparently of different species, were secured ; but, 

 owing to tbe unsatisfactory nature of the publislied descriptions, it is 

 impossible at present to identify them. One agrees tolerably with H. 

 antiqiioruni, Leach. 



SYNGNATHID^. 



SYNGNATHUS JONESII, Giinther. 

 Syngnathus Jonesii, Gunther, Ann. & Mag. of Nat. Hist. 1874. 



This species was deservedly dedicated to J. Matthew Jones, esq., F. 

 L. S., who is doing so much toward elucidating the natural history of 

 these islands. Pipe-fishes are not uncommon. S. pelagicus, Osbeck, is 

 likely also to occur. 



AULOSTOMID^. 



AULOSTOMA MACULATUM, Valenciennes. 

 Trumpet-fish. 



Trompetero Colorado, Parra, Descr. Dif. Piez. Hist. Nat. Cuba, 1787, 63, lam. xxx, f. 2. 

 Aulostoma matulaiuus, Valenciennes in Cuvier, Eegne Animal, 1817; ill. ed. Poiss. 



1829, pi. xcii, f. 2. 

 Aulostoma coloratuw, MtJLL. & Trosch. in Schomburgk's Hist. Barbados, 1848, 173. — 



Gunther, Cat. Fish Brit. Mus. iii, 1861, 536. — Poey, Rep. Fis.-Nat. Cuba, il, 



1868, 386.— Cope, Trans. Am. Phil. Soc. Pbila. 1870, 480. 



A dried head of this species was shown me by C. C. Keane, esq., of 

 Hamilton. The fishermen si)eak of two Trumpet-fishes found hero, one 

 of them designated the Black Trumpet-fish. One of these is proba- 

 bly Fistularia tahaccaria, Liunc?. Mr. J. Matthew Jones informs me of 

 the capture, in 1874, of a specimen of Fistularia serrata, Guv., hitherto 

 known only from the Indian and Pacific Oceans. 



riERASFERID^. 



. LEFROYIABERMUDENSIS, Jones. 



Lefroyia Bcrmndensis, JoneS, Zoologist, Jan., 1874, 3838. 



A single specimen four and one-half inches long was taken by Gov- 

 ernor Let'roy in the summer of 1873. 



"Total length rather more than li inches. Greatest depth at the ver-
