Science mew series), xx, No. 520, i 

 1904, pp. 844, 845. 

 The EoceneMounl Bolca Histionotus bassani 

 of Zigno has been recently renamed Histiono- 

 tophorus bassani by C. I;. Eastman and 

 referred to the family Lophiidse. It is now- 

 contended that the extinct fish was nearly 

 related to. and possibly congeneric with, the 

 Pterophrym histrio, and consequently was a 

 member of the family i nU nnariida . 



Another Mount Bolca fish, named Crenila- 

 brus or Symphodus szajnochse, it is claimed, 

 does not even belong to the same family as 

 Crenilabrus or Symphodus. Its affinities 

 appear to bo rather witli the Berychids, and 

 a new genus (Bradyuriis is proposed for it.
