■♦The following notes on fishes similar to Mancalias wcvq published in Forest and 

 Stream of Nov. i", 1883, by Dr. Theodore Gill: 



•• Tiiphlopsarax. — Ceratiines with au elon;j;at('d trunk, rectilinear back, obsolete or 

 no eyes, far exserted basal joint of the anterior spine and shortened terminal joint, 

 a. small intermediate and a pair of pedunculated dorsal ai>pen(hi<;es some distance in 

 advance of the dorsal fin, and reduced pectoral fin with about 5 or or 6 rays. 



'• Tiiphlopnarax nhufehlli. — The tir.st joint of the rod-like si)ine reaches to the axil of 

 the dorsal lin, and the bulb to the base of the caudal liii, when the spine is bent back- 

 ward ; the bull) is pear-shaped and without any appendages ; the dorsal has 4 rays, the 

 anal 4, the candal 8 (the median, 4 of which are forked), and there are 4 or 5 pectoral 

 rays. A single specimen was found. I have dedicated the species to my esteemed 

 friend, Dr. R. W. Shufeldt, U. S. A., the well-known ornithotomist. 



"The name Tuphlopsaraa is a compound from the Greek tupliloa (blind) and psaras 

 (angler), meaning 'blind angler.' 



'• Criiptopsaras. — Ceratiines with shortened trunk, longitudinally convex back, small 

 but conspicuous eyes, concealed basal joint of the anterior spine and elongated ter-
