  Specimeus

  terra>-novcs, 
  Malthe 
  radiata 
  (cubifions), 
  Scorpwna 
  plwmieri 
  

   (bufo), 
  and 
  other 
  fishes 
  of 
  the 
  warm 
  seas, 
  were 
  given 
  by 
  Audubon 
  to 
  Richardson, 
  and 
  

   by 
  Richardson 
  described 
  as 
  coming 
  from 
  the 
  waters 
  about 
  Newfoundland. 
  There 
  can 
  

   be 
  little 
  doubt 
  that 
  these 
  specimens 
  really 
  came 
  from 
  Southern 
  Florida, 
  in 
  which 
  

   region 
  Audubon 
  made 
  extensive 
  collections. 
  The 
  Squalus 
  pmrctatus 
  of 
  Mitchill 
  has 
  

   been 
  identified 
  by 
  me 
  with 
  ft 
  tcrrcc-novce, 
  and 
  by 
  Prof. 
  Gill 
  with 
  ft 
  isodon. 
  The 
  name 
  

   punctatus 
  is 
  any 
  case 
  preoccupied 
  and 
  cannot 
  be 
  used 
  for 
  either 
  species.
