 HIPPOCAMPID^. 



HIPPOCAMPUS, sjp. 



Sea-hoese. 



Two specimens, apparently of different species, were secured ; but, 

 owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the published descriptions, it is 

 impossible at present to identify them. One agrees tolerably with JBT. 

 antiquorum, Leach. 



SYKGl^ATHIDiE. 



SYNGNATHUS JONESII, Giinther. 

 Syngnathus Jonesii, Gunther, Ann. & Mag. of Nat. Hist. 1874. 



This species was deservedly dedicated to J. Matthew Jones, esq., F. 

 L. S., who is doing so much toward elucidating the natural history of 

 these islands. Pipe-fishes are not uncommon. S. pelagicus, Osbeck, is 

 likely also to occur. 



AULOSTOMID^. 



AULOSTOMA MAOULATUM, Valenciennes. 

 Teumpet-fish. 



Ti'ompetero Colorado, Parra, Descr. Dif. Piez. Hist. Nat. Cuba, 1787, 63, lam. xxx, f . 2. 

 Aulostoma maculatuiis, Valenciennes in Cuvier, Eegne Animal, 1817; ill. cd. Poiss. 



1829, pi. xcii, f. 2. 

 Aulostoma coloratuw, MVsul. & Trosch. in Schomburgk's Hist. Barbados, 1848, 173. — 



GtJNTHER, Cat. Fish Brit. Mus. iii, 1861, 536. — Poey, Eep. Fis.-Nat. Cuba, ii, 



1868. 386.— Cope, Trans, Am. Phil. Soc. Phila. 1870, 480. 



A dried head of this species was shown me by C. C. Keane, esq., of 

 Hamilton. The fishermen speak of two Trumpet-fishes found here, one 

 of them designated the Black Trumpet-fish. One of these is proba- 

 bly Fistularia tahaccaria, Liun^. Mr. J. Matthew Jones informs me of 

 the capture, in 1874, of a specimen of Fistularia serrafa, Cuv., hitherto 

 known only from the Indian and Pacific Oceans. 



HEEASFEEID^. 



LEFROYIABERMUDENSIS, Jones. 



Lefroyia Bermudensis, Jonks, Zoologist, Jan., 1874, 3838. 



A single specimen four and one-half inches long was taken by Gov- 

 ernor Lefroy in the summer of 1873. 



"Total length rather more than 4 J inches. Greatest depth at the ver-
