I had overlooked Cameron's description of this species. I 

 do not think that there are sufficient reasons for separating 

 the genus from Calyoza. Enderleia seems also to have 

 overlooked Cameron's paper. 



XXXIV. — On the Pacific Species of Hippoglossoides. By 

 Peter Schmidt, Curator of tlie Ichthyological Department 

 of the Zoological Museum of the Imperial Academy of 

 Sciences in Pet:ograd. 



The genus Hippoglossoides, Gottsche {Drepanopsetta, Gill), 

 is represented in tlie Atlantic Ocean, as has been shown by 

 Colk'tt (1878) and by Smitt (1893), by only one species— 

 Hippoglossoides platessoides, Fabricius. The identity of 

 American and Enropean representatives of this specie's, 

 formerly distinguished as Hippoglossndes platessoides and 

 H. limandoides, is now conceded apparently by all European 

 and American writers. 



Very different at first sight are the conditions in the 

 Pacific, where no less than five reputed species of Hippo- 

 glossoides are recognized : — 



(1) Hippoglossoides elassodon, Jordan & Gilbert (1880), 



described from Seattle, Tacoma, and Paget iSound, 

 and afterwards recorded from the Bering Sea by 

 American naturalists, and by me from the Okhotsk 

 Sea (Schmidt, 1904). 



(2) Hippoglossoides rohustus, Gill & Townsend (1897), 



described from one specimeir only from the Bering 

 Sea (lat. 56° U'_ N., long. 164° 08' W., 49 fath.). 

 Not found afterwards. 



(3) Hippoglossoides hamiltoni, Jordan & Gilbert (1899), 



described from a specimen from Avatcha Bay. I 

 recorded two examples from the Okhotsk Sea near 

 Cape Terpeniya (Schmidt, 1904). 



(4) Hippoglossoides dubius, Schmidt (1901), described 



from two specimens (one of them ^oung) from the
