 p. 179.) 



This rare fish is known from a painting at Hilo by Andrew Garrett and one at 

 Honohiki by Mrs. J. B. Dillingham. Whether the Pacific form, G. thyrsitoides 

 Lesson, differs from G. serpens of the Atlantic we cannot tell.

Pelagic. Two specimens from the markets in Honolulu. Two casts of this 

 rare species of the open seas are in the Bishop Museum, from examples in much 

 better condition than the original types.

 in the Bishop Museum. 



EuMEGiSTUs gen. nov. Jordan and Jordan.

 at least in the adult, are smooth, entirely without vertical ridge, or emargination.
