THE AMEBIC AN NATURALIST [Vol. XLII 



peculiar to this lake are Abyssocottus, Cottinella, Limnocottus, 

 Procottus, Batrachocottus and Asprocottus. The fauna de- 

 scribed in this paper is one of peculiar interest. 



In another paper in the Annuaire de VAcademie de St. 

 Petersbourg, XI, 1906— unfortunately entirely in Russian— Mr. 

 Berg discusses the Old World species of minnows of the genus 

 Phoxinus. 



In the same Annuaire, vol. XII, 1907, Mr. Berg treats in 

 Eussian and in English, the fresh-water fishes of Corea. The 

 genus Longurio of Jordan and Starks is united by Berg to 

 Saurogobio of Bleeker, and Fusania with Aphyocypris of Giinther. 

 In another paper Mr. Berg discusses Siberian species of Rhodeus. 



In the ' 1 Fauna America-Centrali" Mr. C. T. Regan continues 

 his account of the fishes of Mexico and Central America. Ami- 

 urus meeki is described from Chihuahua, Moxostoma mascotce 

 from Jalisco, Algansea affinis from Rio Lerma, Algansea stigma- 

 tura from Rio Grande de Santiago. Several species recognized 

 by other authors are placed in synonymy. In some cases this 

 process exchanges one doubtful opinion for another. 



In Popular Science Monthly, LXXI, January, 1908, Dr. 

 Jordan describes "The Grayling at Caribou Crossing," a run- 

 ning descriptive account of the Yukon country, with a dash of 

 angling. 



In Science, XXVI, 1907, Dr. Bashford Dean reviews Dr. 

 Eastman's recent papers on the "Kinship of the Arthrodires, " 

 Dr. Eastman claims that these mailed fishes are Dipnoans and 

 to this conclusion Dr. Dean enters a "friendly protest." 



In the American Journal of Anatomy, VII, 1907, Dr. Dean 

 discusses the structure and origin of the Aeanthodian sharks, 

 one of the most primitive of the extinct forms. Their relation- 

 ships are with Cladoselache, a form having fins of the fin-fold 

 type, and probably the most primitive of known sharks. 



In Archives de Zoologie Experimental, VII, 1907, Dr. Louis 

 Fage describes the fishes of the Balearic Islands, with several 

 new species. The paper can be especially praised for its atten- 

 tion to laws of nomenclature, as also for the accuracy and full- 

 ness of its accounts of the new forms. Two species are referred 

 to the genus Eleotris, a group not hitherto recorded from 

 Europe. Neither of the species, however, belongs to Eleotris
