^ Conodon serrifer Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1882, ;?51. Boca Soledad, 

 Lower California. 



3 It is probably better to regard Conodon, Orthopristis, and Jnisoiremus as gencrically 

 distinct from Pomadasys. See Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1881, 3a4, for 

 an analysis of the characters of the Pacific coast species of this group. 



* Microlcpidotns inornatus Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1862, 256. Cape San Lucas 

 (not Pomadasys inornatus Jordan &■ Gilbert, 1. c. 388).

' Prisiipoma cantharinum Jenyus, Zool. Voy. Beagle, 49, 1842, and Giinther, 1, 363, 

 Giiuther's description agrees with a specimen from Guayma.s, diagnosed by Jordan & 

 Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 18H1, 274 as " Pomadasys f inornatus,^ and on page 388, 

 I.e., as P. cantharinus. This species is distinct from 0. chalceus, and is probably the 

 original cantharinus from the Galapagos Islands. I have, however, seen ^liecimens of 

 0. chalceus from the Galapagos. 



"For synonymy and diagnosis of Orthopristis chalceus tivo Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. 

 U. S. Nat. Mus., 1881, 387. Mazatlan to Galapagos I.^^lands.
