under three parts. Part I treats of the 
characteristics of the “order Pediculati,”’ 
gives a synopsis of the “ Pediculate fami- 
lies,’ notices the ‘‘early Pediculates,’’ 
and comments on ‘‘the families of Pedic- 
ulates,” giving numerous illustrations of 
species of the six families. Part II treats 
of “the habits of typical Antennariids” 
(Antennarius and Pterophryne sp.). In 
Part III the true egg-raft, like that of a 
Lophiid, is illustrated and ‘the so-called 
‘nest’ of the Frogfish”’ is noticed; the lat- 
ter proves to be the result of deposition of 
the filamentiferous eggs of a Flying-fish 
(Exoceetid). The subfamily names Dol- 
opichthyines (p. 580), Caulophrynines (p. 
585), and Coelophrynines (p. 595) are pub- 
lished for the first time.

and purpose.

ings of the Seventh Interna-

The same address as was published in 
Science, Oct. 18, 1907 (vol. 26, pp. 489- 
505), and in the Smithsonian Report for 
1907 (pp. 449-471), but with a few trivial 
modifications from the former, and the 
addition of a footnote (p. 9) in Cuvier’s 
disputed Christian name, which is George 
Léopold Chrétien Fréderic Dagobert, and 
without the new notes and 14 portraits of 
the Smithsonian edition. 
A plea for observation of the habits 
of fishes and against undue generaliza- 
tion.—Address before the Fourth Inter- 
national Fishery Congress held at Wash- 
ington, U.S. A., September 22 to 26, 
1908.

Attention is called to the fact that ‘‘es- 
sentials of some of our most esteemed 
fishes are scarcely known beyond a very 
small circle of pisciculturists,”’” and the 
Crappie (Pomozis sparoides) is cited as ‘ a 
notablecase.’”’ Itisshown that closely re- 
lated species differ much in habits, as the 
Wels from the Glanis (Parasilurus aris- 
totelis) and the Hassars ( Callichthys) from 
Corydoras. Nearly related fishes that ex- 
ercise parental care may differ in details 
of that care, as the Blackbass from the 
Sunfish. There are also differences in the 
characteristics of the sexes. For instance, 
the male of the Lumpsucker is much 
smaller than the female, but in the Bolti 
of Egypt ( Tilapia nilotica) the male is the 
larger. In many care-taking fishes the 
males assume charge of the eggs, and it has

been assumed that they always do, but it 
now appears that the females of numerous 
Cichlids (as the Tilapias) take the eggs in 
their mouths and so care for them. The 
common eel is the subject of much misun- 
derstanding. It is often urged that eels 
must spawn in fresh water and that others 
that have spawned reenter rivers, but it 
is now well known to ichthyologists that 
all spawning is done in the deep sea and 
that no eels return after spawning. Sev- 
eral cases of parasitism or commensalism 
among fishes are noticed. Caution is 
urged against excessive generalization 
and the necessity of recognizing some in- 
dividuality maintained. A ‘schedule for 
observation”’ of fishes is added.

Abstract of a communication to the Na- 
tional Academy of Sciences. The ordinat 
characteristics of the restricted Apodes 
are given. The order is limited to those 
with maxillaries clamping the rostral 
region and without intermaxillaries. The 
homologies of the dentigerous bones are 
considered, and the suborders of Enchely- 
cephals and Colocephals are recognized.
