Zoological News.—Pisces.—The little-known Agonoid Fish, 
Hippocephalus japonicus, is described by F. Cramer. The description 
is based on an alcoholic specimen presented to the California Academy 
of Sciences by Dr. Krause, of Berlin. The specimen is 360 mm. long, 
and was obtained in the Okhotsk Sea. (Proceeds. Cal. Acad. Sci., Ser. 
2, Vol. IV, 1894.) 
Mammalia.—The Price collection of mammals from southeastern 
Arizona, and the Granger collection from South Dakota, recently ac- 
quired by the American Museum of New York, include a number of 
new forms, ten of which are described by Dr. J. A. Allen. The collec- 
tions and the observations of the collectors greatly extend the recorded 
range of many species of mammals. (Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 1894.) 
A collection of mammals sent to the American Museum from New 
Brunswick, numbers about 250 specimens, and contains representa- 
tives of several species worthy of note, among which are two specimens 
of Synaptomys cooperii Baird. This is the first record of the genus 
Synaptomys from New Brunswick. (Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 1894.) 
In the annotated list of Florida Mammals prepared by Dr. F. M. 
Chapman, four orders are represented, as follows : Glires, 27 ; Chirop- 
tera, 10; Insectivora, 4; Carnivora, 12. (Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 
1894.)
