THE AMEBIC AN NATURALIST [Vol. XL V 



In the same Proceedings, Vol. 39, 1911, the same authors dis- 

 cuss the species of the family Scicenidce found in the waters of 

 Japan. 



In the same Proceedings, Vol. 38, 1910, Barton A. Bean and 

 Alfred C. Weed discuss. the "Venomous Toadfishes of South 

 America" belonging to Thalassophryne and related genera, with 

 figures of the different species and a discussion of the venomous 

 spines by which they are armed. 



In the same Proceedings, Vol. 39, 1911, Theodore Gill discusses 

 the "Structure and Habits of the Wolffishes." The genus 

 L//r/V///A//.v. based (iii AiHirrlnais latifrons, is here fully defined. 

 A new species. /,//( ic/it/n/s forfidi its, from the North Atlantic, is 

 described and figured. 



In the same Proceedings, Vol. 38, 1910, William Converse Ken- 

 dall describes a collection of fishes made in Labrador by Owen 

 Bryant. Among these are certain sea trout not belonging to the 

 ordinary brook-trout species, Salvelinus fortinalis. The species 

 in question is provisionally identified as Salvelinus stagnalis, but 

 it is possible that it is a species still undescribed. The name 

 Sahno inunaculatus was probably originally given to this species, 

 but the name is preoccupied. 



In the same Proceedings, Vol. 38. 1910, Barton W. Evermann 

 and William C. Kendall compare the chub-mackerels, Scomber 

 colias, of the Atlantic, with those of the Pacific, called 8. japoni- 

 cus. They find the two species different, in measuring the speci- 

 mens examined, the head being especially larger in the Pacific 

 fish— about 3i instead of 3f in the length of the body. Com- 

 parison of other specimens made at Stanford University does not 

 seem to bear out these differences, and the propriety of separating 

 the Atlantic species from the earlier named Japanese form as 

 Scomber colias is still doubtful. 



In the same Proceedings, Vol. 37, 1910, Barton A. Bean and 

 Alfred C. Weed discuss the Japanese genus Antcliochimcera, in 

 which they show that the genus is probably identical with 

 Harriott a, an Atlantic genus of Chimcera. 



In the same Proceedings, Vol. 39, 1910, Barton W. Evermann 

 and Homer B. Latimer give a "Catalogue of the Fishes," forty 

 in number, known to inhabit the Lake of the Woods. 



In the Annals and Magazine of Natural History, November, 

 1910, C. Tate Regan discusses the families of Zeid*e and 

 Caproidoe. 



In the same Annals Mr. Regan discusses the origin and evolu- 

 tion of the order of the flounders. He regards them as descended
