ber, by which it is proposed to control the fisheries of the interna- 

 tional boundary waters. 



In the Proceedings of the United States National Museum, 

 Dr. Jordan and William Francis Thompson describe a new spe- 

 cies of deep-water sculpin, Triglopsis ontariensis, from Lake 

 Ontario. The Lake Michigan form related to this, long since 

 named Triglopsis stimpsoni, is also described and figured. 



In the same Proceedings, Frank Walter Weymouth, of Stan- 

 ford University, describes a collection of fishes from Cameron, 

 Louisiana. One species. Leptocerdale longipinnis, is described 

 as new. The three related species of this family. Cerdalida?, are 

 known from the west coast of Mexico. 



In the "Smithsonian Report" for 1908, Dr. Theodore Gill dis- 

 cusses the variant forms oL' angler fishes, with figures of many 

 species. He shows that the name Lophiodes. (Joode and Bean, 

 "Oceanic Ichthyology," p. 537, has priority over the name 

 Chirolophius. 



In the Proceedings of the Portland Soe'u tg of Satural llisho-g. 

 Vol. II, William Converse Kendall gives a list of the fishes of 

 Labrador, as collected by the Bowdoin College Kxpedition of 

 1891. A check list of the species of Labrador contains seventy- 



Iri the Bulletin of the Illinois State Laboratory of Natural 

 llistorg. Professor Stephen A. Forbes gives a series of maps, 



the state. The distribution of these fishes reflects, as Professor 

 Forbes says, in uniformity and relative monotony, the features 

 of the topography of the state. 



In the Philippine Journal of Science, Vol. IV (1909), Mr. 

 Alvin Seale describes a large number of new species of fishes 

 from the Philippines, in addition to those named in the check 

 list of Jordan and Richardson, published at about the same time 

 in the same journal. Mr. Seale has had opportunities for 

 making studies of the Philippine species such as have fallen to 

 no other ichthyologist. 



In the Bulletin of the Bureau of Fisheries, Vol. 28, are the 

 proceedings of the Fourth International Fisheries Congress, held 

 at Washington in September, 1908. Upwards of thirty papers
