 but the wound has healed, and 011 the thus truncated point of the tail is 

 developed a distinct caudal fin, a phenomenon which is also observed in 

 some specimens of the preceding species. The scales show distinct rows 

 of thorns, not however so much projecting as in M. goodei. (Lutken.) 



Several specimens taken by the Ingolf about Iceland and in Denmark

Page 118. Dr. Albert Giinther has recently critically studied the Lin- 

 naean type specimens of American fishes in the possession of the Linmean 

 Society of London, and the results are published in the proceedings of that 

 society for May 24, 1899. 



These studies of Dr. Giinther necessitate the following changes from 

 the names adopted by us in the earlier parts of this work : The Gaff-Top-
