311. Centrogenys vaigiensis (Quoy & Gaimard). Panay (Jordan & Seale, A,

 ger, B). 



The serranoid rather than scorpaenoid affinities of the Scorpene de 

 Vaigiou of Quoy & Gaimard (erroneously figured with lower pectoral 

 rays unbranched) seems to be beyond question. There also seems to 

 be no doubt that the Sebastes stoliczce of Day (=Gennadius stolicza, 

 Jordan & Seale) is identical with the present species of Quoy & 

 Gaimard, as subsequently admitted by Dr. Day and more recently 

 formally stated by Boulenger.
