Prof. Kessler has given a more detailed description of this s])ecies, 

 from which it appears that it has more than fifty scales in the lateral 

 line, and therefore must be transferred to division B. See p. 551. 



Page 9. Gobius syrman. 



The figure given by Nordmann represents the scales too large. 

 According to the examination of Prof. Kessler, it has 61-65 in the 

 lateral line, and it must therefore be transferred to division B.
