the descriiition of our species, T. stomias G. & B., on page 918, add: 

 Hea d 3 ; depth 4 ; Lat. 1. about 140. Body rather slender, compressed. 

 Scales smooth, with many accessory scales. 



Page 557. The second interspinal bone of the anal is enlarged and pen- 

 shaped in the species of Steuotomus and Calamus. It is normal, and not 

 pen-shaped, in the typical species of the groups called Pagnts, Spams 

 (Chrysophrys), Pagellus, as well as in Diplodus, ArcJiosargus, and Lagodon. 



Page 557 (929). Our suggestion, on page 929, that Argyrops Sw. 

 should be substituted for Stenotomns, is premature. The species called 

 Argyrops [spinifer, ehreoihergi, auriga) bear a strong resemblance to 

 Stenotomus caprinus, and according to Steindachner (Beitr. zur Kenntn. 

 Fische Afrika's, ii, 3, 4, 1882) their anterior teeth are somewhat com- 

 pressed. Professor Doderlein has, however, published (Giorn. Scienz. 

 Nat. Econ. Palermo, xiv, 1879) photographs of the dentition of Fagrus 

 elirenhergi C. & V., from which it appears that these teeth are really 

 robust canines and not incisors. Dr. H. E. Sauvage, who has kindlj^ 

 examined the specimens of ^^Pagrus spinifer'''' in the Paris Museum, 

 has lately informed us that the dentition of this species is essentially 

 that of Sparus pagrus, and different from that of Stenotomus. 



Page 559. The description in the text of Diplodus caiidimacula was 

 drawn from young specimens of D. Jiolbroold, which may, however, prove 

 to be scarcely distinct from the true caiidimacula of Cuba.
