A lectrias, JORDAN & EVERMANN, new genus (alectrolophus) . 



This genus is distinguished from Anoplarchus by having the gill mem- 

 branes free from the isthmus, as in Cebedichthys. (aXsHTcop, a cock; from 

 the crest.) 



Page 2422, under Anoplarchus alectrolophus: The 2 specimens obtained 

 in Monterey Bay by Arthur W. Greeley were erroneously referred to this 

 species. They are the young of Cebedichthys.
