Amphibian and Reptilian cliaracters in addition to those which are peculiarly 

 Dipnoan.

 Skeleton of the Pectoral Fins of Polypterus. In: Proc. Zool. Soc. Lon-

An examination of 102 specimens of Polypierns. The author find that the 

 differences in the various discriptions of the pectoral fin are probably due to the 

 great ränge of individual Variation. Forster Cooper (Cambridge).

The author draws attention to a new line of research. The Actinopterygii 

 can be classified according to the structure of their scales into two groups, the 

 Chondrostei and Lepidosteoidei. This difference holds good not only for the 

 scales but for the whole endoskeleton as well, even to the ribs and vertebral 

 centra. The author discusses the bearing of this upon the question of the phylo- 

 geny of the Teleostei. Forster Cooper (Cambridge).

Thirteeu suborders of the Percomorphi are recognized of whicli this paper deals 

 mainly with the suborder Percoidea, whicli is divided into twelve groups. 



A new generic name Centrodraco is proposed for one of the Draconettidae.
