' Mr. Dresel observes (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1884, 251): Dr. T. H. Bean "inclines to 

 the belief that the Greenland form of Giimnacanthus (tricuspis) does not occur in the 

 Pacific. It is best, therefore, to I'etain Reiuhardt's name, tricuspis, for the Atlantic 

 species." A description of G. tricuspis is giveu by Mr. Dresel, 1. o. The description 

 iu the Synopsis is also from an Atlantic specimen. 



-Enophrys claviger is the young of E. diceraus, according to Dr. Bean, -who has ex- 

 :amined the types of both species.
