Pi'ofessor Gill has sent me a notice of a Blennioid fish which 1 

 consider identical with V. crista galli, although, in his description, 

 he does not mention the longitudinal crest on the head. As the sheet 

 containing my description is -printed, I regret that I am not able to 

 adopt the specific dtinomination proposed in his letter. Put he very 

 truly observes that the gill-openings are se])arated by an isthmus, the 

 membranes not being connected with each other as in Centronotus. 

 The species,_ therefore, Avould belong to a dift'erent genus, named by- 

 Mr. Gill Anoplarclms, the other characters of which are the same as 

 those of Centronotus. The name of the- species will be Anoplarchus 

 crista gaJh'.
