Mr. Fowler redescribes the great catfish of the Florida Everglades, 
which has been named Jctalurus okeechobeensis by Heilprin. He 
regards it as a subspecies of Ameiurus lacustris, but until these 
great catfishes have been fully studied, it seems as well to regard 
this, with Jordan and Evermann, as a distinct species. 
Dr. Einar Lonnberg, in the Annuaire of the Zoólogical Museum of 
St. Petersburg, gives an account of the discovery by Dr. G. Adlerz 
of the Opah, Zampris luna, on the coast of Murman in Russia. This 
great pelagic fish is occasionally taken on almost every coast in the 
world, especially in the northern hemisphere (Nova Scotia, Maine, 
California, Japan, Madeira, etc.). Dr. Lónnberg adopts the earlier 
name, Lampris pelagicus (Scomber pelagicus Gunner, 1768), instead of 
Z. luna (1788). But there was already, in 1766, a Scomber pelagicus 
of Linnzus, supposed to be the same as Coryphena hippurus, and 
the name given by Gunner was preoccupied. 
In the Zransactions of the Connecticut Academy, Vol. X, 1900, Mr. 
Garman describes three fishes from Bailey Bay, Bermuda Islands, 
collected by the Yale expedition of 1898. One of these, Brosmo- 
Żhycis verrilli, is described as new. This belongs to the section or 
genus Ogilbia of Jordan and Evermann. Godius stigmaturus is also 
recorded from Bailey Bay. The original type was from unknown 
locality, but Jordan and Evermann record the species from Key 
West 
Dr, Einar Lonnberg writes in the acts of the Swedish Academy of 
the Saibling of “Baren” Island, as collected by J. G. Andersson. 
To this form he gives the name of Sa/mo umbla var. salvelino-insularis. 
In the Bulletin of the U. S. Fish Commission Professor J. P. Gor- 
ham describes the *gas-bubble disease" of fishes in aquaria. He 
finds it due to the expansion of gases from the reduction of pressure 
in removing fishes from deeper waters. 
Under the title of * Les Péches du Hokkaido," the Japanese Fish- 
eries Bureau gives an interesting statistical account of the great 
salmon and herring fishes of the island of Hokkaido (called Yeso 
on our maps, but no longer bearing that name in Japan). 
Dr. Seth E. Meek has published in the records of the Field 
Columbian Museum an account of the species of Eupomotis, 
the group which includes the common brook sunfish. Æupomotis 
longimanus is recognized as probably a valid species.
