 Lepidobknniui Saavsige, Rev. Zool. 1874, 337 {caledonicus); not of Steindachner, 1867. 

 This genus, with 2 dorsals, the first of 8 spines, and the body scaly, i.-^ an ally of Clinim. The 

 name Lepidoblennius is preoccupied. We may therefore give the genus a new name in honor of its 

 discoverer. Dr. H. E. Sauvage, of Boulogne-sur-mer.

i:ii:iiiiiuf trislatus, Giinther, Fisehe der Sudsee, 194, tal. 113, tig. E, Tonga; nut of Linnaius. 

 This species from Tonga, characterized by the long row of nuchal filaments, is unknown to us. 

 Dr. Giinther identifies it with Blennius cristatus Linna;us, a species of the West Indies, originally 

 desiTibed from Ascension Island. It is not at all likely that this Pacific species is identical with 

 HIennius cristaliis, and we therefore proi)Ose for it the new name B. tongami^.
