•^Black Sea.— D. 14. A. 18 ; teeth none. — The description is not 

 only insufficient, but evidently incorrect: the author states first that 

 the specimen is 3 inches long and 10 lines deep ; afterwards that the 

 height of the body is equal to the length of the head, and two-nintha of 

 the total (with the caudal).

 a. One of the typical specimens. From Dr. Bleeker's Collection. This 

 example is in so bad a condition as to be useless for comparison 

 with tlie other allied species ; and as no specific differences are pointed 

 out in Dr. Bleeker's description, the species must remain doubtful 

 at present.
