 Besides this material in spirits there are in the collection 

 of mounted fishes three good preserved specimens of Ophio- 

 cephalus striatus , length 330 , 370 and 555 mM. These are 

 the types of 0. planiceps Kuhl and v. Hasselt (Cuv. & Val, , 

 T. VII, p. 318). Valenciennes states that 0. planiceps is 

 »extrêmement ressemblaut aux précédens , surtout par les 

 » dents laterales d'en bas. Sa difference la plus sensible con- 

 » siste dans une autre disposition dans les rugosités des 

 »écailles". His description of the scales of 0. stratus Bl. 

 is quite applicable to those of 0. planiceps, while, more- 

 over, in the roughness of the scales of one and the same 

 animal a slight difference may be observed. 



The specimen sub N° 1658 is probably collected by Kuhl 

 and V. Hasselt , though Valenciennes has not mentioned it. 



4. Rhynchobdella aculeata (BL).
