erences defy all our knowledge of the geographic distribution of these 

 fishes. For example, F. extensus is a brackish-water fish of Cape San 

 Lucas ; F. zebra, which is the basis of F. zebrinus, is a fish of the mountain 

 streams of New Mexico, Colorado, and northeastward, while F. adinia is 

 found near the mouth of the Rio Grande. There is no doubt that the orig- 

 inal Fundulus zebra is the species called zebrinus by us and Icansw by Gar- 

 man. It came from some point between "Fort Union and Fort Defiance." 

 In other words, it came from the head waters of the Canadian River or the 

 Rio Grande. No species of this type has been recorded from the upper 

 Rio Grande, but the species called zebrinus and kansa 1 is in all the upper 

 waters of the Arkansas basin, to which the Canadian River belongs, and 

 doubtless in the streams above Fort Union.

 Fundulus kansce, GAKMAN, Monogr. Cyprinodouts, 163, pi. 2, fig. 10, 1895, Kansas. 



This species (F. zebrinus) is rightly made the type of a new subgenus, 

 or possibly genus, Plancterus, by Garman. It has long, convoluted intes- 

 tines and very small pharyngeals. Fundulus seminolis (subgenus Fontinus) 

 has short intestines and coarse pharyngeals. 



Page 648. Fundulus stellifer is wrongly referred by Garmaii to the syn- 

 onymy of F. catenatus. 



Page 649. Fundulus lineatus is referred by Garman to the synonymy of 

 F. sciadicus, which reference seems to be correct. 



Fundulus albolineatus, which Garman also refers to F. sciadicus, seems to 

 be a perfectly good species. It is certainly not F. sciadicus. 



Garman refers Fundulus confluentus to the synonymy of F. yrandis, which 

 is probably not correct. 



Page 650. Garman's reference of Fundulus funduloides to the synonymy 

 of F. grand-is may be correct. 



The species called Fundulus dovii in the text is an Aplocheilus and should 

 stand as : 



968(a). APLOCHEILUS DOVII (Gunther). 



Garman recognizes Zygonectes as a distinct genus, but its boundaries are 

 not easily defined. 



The description of Fundulus confluentus should be modified to include 

 the following, taken from the type: Head 3|; depth 4. a D. 11; scales 44 

 or fewer. A black spot on middle of membrane of last 3 dorsal rays. This 

 species resembles F. diaphanus rather than F. majalis. Fundulus ocellaris 

 seems to be identical with F. confluentus. 



Page 651. Garman refers Fundulus macdonaldi to the synonymy of F. 

 sciadicus, which is probably correct, but the reference of F. floripinnis to 

 the same synonymy is certainly wrong. 



Page 652. Garman refers F. pulvereus to the synonymy of F. grandis, 

 which is without warrant. 



Page 655. To the synonymy of Fundulus chrysotus add : 



Qambutia arlingtonia, GOODE & BEAN, Proc. IT. S. Nat. Mus. 1879, 118, Arlington River, 

 Florida. (Typo, No. 21308. Coll: Dr. Goode.)
