^ I now adopt the genus Cmsiosoma for IScoipis caUforiiiensis. This species differs much 

 from the iiguroof /^corpia georgiamia, to which it may not be really related. Ccesio-ioma 

 is certainly not a Chatodont, but a very near relative of Kyplioaua. The propriety of 

 placing Girella, Eyphoaus, and Cawosoma among the AS/>artd(E is questionable. Gill has 

 placed them together in his family PimeUpteridce. 



■•See Giinther, ii, 70, for the characters of the family of Cirrhitidce and of the genua 

 Cirrhites. Our species, Cirrhiiea rivulatua Valenciennes, Voyage V<Suu8 Poiss., 300 = 

 Cirrhitichthya rivulatua Giinther, Fish. Centr. Amer., 1869, 421 = Cirrhitea bctaurus Gill, 

 Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1862, is found from Cape San Lucas to the Galapagos Islands. 



*The specimen from Newport, R. I., recorded by Cope as Apogon americanus, belongs 

 to the European species, Apogon imberiia L. It has been compared with the latter, at 

 my request, by Mr. S. E. Meek.
