froiu Dr. Garden. They agree perfectly with Linne's description of 

 Perca chrysoptera. The radial formula, strangely enough, is omitted. 

 The species is the one long known to us as rrisUpoma fidvomaadafum . 



Additional arguments for its identity with this species is the i)ersist- 

 euce of the common name and the fact that the collection of Linne con- 

 tains no Hwmulons from Garden. 



The length of tlie larger type is 280'""' without caudal, and of the 

 smaller 180"'™.

 Perca guttata, L. 



LiNNiS, Syst. Nat., ed. xii, 485. 



In the Linnaean Society collection is a half sk^n labeled Perca guttata, 

 Linne. It is 240""" in length without caudal ; the height is contained 

 2f times and the head 2^ times in this length. 



D. XI, 16 ; A. Ill, 8. " 



This is evidently identical with a specimen in the National Museum, 

 which was labeled PJpinephelus lunulatus by Professor Poey. 



Perca formosa, L. 



LiNXE, Syst. Nat., ed. xii, 488. 



No. 35, Garden. 



The length of the type to the base of the middle caudal rays is 

 170""". 



D. X, 12; A. Ill, 7. 



The species has been known in our lists under the name of DipUctrum 

 fasciculare. 



Gasterosteus carolinus, L. 



Linne, Syst. Nat., ed. xii, 490. 



No. 8, Garden. The Crevallee. 



This is the type of the present Trachynotus carolinus. It is 190'""' in 

 length to caudal base ; in this length the height is contained twice, and 

 the head three and one-half times. 



D. VI, i, 26; A. II, i, 23. 



Gasterosteus canadus, L. 



Linne, Syst. Nat., ed. xii, 491. 



No. 7, Garden. 



The type of this species, marked number 7 in Garden's handwriting, 

 and " Gasterosteus''^ in that of Linne," is 328""™ in length to caudal base. 

 It is referred to by Garden (Correspondence, 312) as having no English 

 name. 



The species is now known as Elacate Canada. 



Scomber hippos ? L. 



LiNNifi, Syst. Nat., ed. xii, 494. 



A specimen of a Caranx, No. 16, apparently referred to in the Corre-
