  I 
  now 
  adopt 
  the 
  genus 
  Cmsiosoma 
  for 
  Scorpis 
  calif 
  orniensis. 
  This 
  species 
  differs 
  much 
  

   from 
  the 
  figure 
  of 
  Scorpis 
  georgianus, 
  to 
  which 
  it 
  may 
  not 
  be 
  really 
  related. 
  Cossiosoma 
  

   is 
  certainly 
  not 
  a 
  Chwtodont, 
  but 
  a 
  very 
  near 
  relative 
  of 
  Kyphosus. 
  The 
  propriety 
  of 
  

   placing 
  Girella, 
  Kyphosus, 
  and 
  Cwsiosoma 
  among 
  the 
  Sparidw 
  is 
  questionable. 
  Gill 
  has 
  

   placed 
  them 
  together 
  in 
  his 
  family 
  Pimelepteridce.

  The

  from 
  Newport, 
  R. 
  I., 
  recorded 
  by 
  Cope 
  as 
  Apogon 
  amcricanus, 
  belongs 
  

   to 
  the 
  European 
  species, 
  Apogon 
  imherhis 
  L. 
  It 
  has 
  been

  the
