 HIPPOCAMPIDA 



HIPPOCAMPUS, sp. 



Seahorse. 



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

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

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

 antiquorum,j Leach. 



SYNGffATHHXaE. 



SYNGKATHUS JONESII, Gimther. 



Syngnathus Jones'u, Gunther, Arm. & Mag. of Nat. Hist. 1874. 



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

 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.

AULOSTOMA MACULATUM, Valenciennes. 

 Trumpet-eish.

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 tabaccaria, Liune. Mr. J. Matthew Jones informs me of 

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

 known only from the Indian and Pacific Oceans. 



FIERASFER1TME. 



LEFEOYIABERMUDENSIS, Jones. 



Lefroyia Bermuclensis, Jones, Zoologist, Jan., 1874, 3838. 



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

 ernor Lefroy in the summer of 1873.
