THE AMERICAN NATURALIST [Vol. XL V 



groups into clearer relations with each other. He places the 

 genus Ateleopus among the Iniomi. 



In the Philippine Journal of Science, Vol. V, 1910, Alvin Seale 

 describes a collection of fishes from Borneo. 



In the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phil- 

 adelphia, April, 1910, Henry W. Fowler describes and figures the 

 types of many species of American fishes of the genus Notropis. 



In the same Proceedings, Mr. Fowler describes Paralepis barra- 

 cudina, a new species from Corson's Inlet, New Jersey. 



In the same Proceedings, Mr. Fowler describes various little- 

 known fishes from New Jersey, and also a number of new species 

 of ganoid fishes. He divides the garpikes into two genera, 

 Lepisosteus and Cylindrosteus. Instead of the three species 

 usually recognized, Mr. Fowler discussed twelve. It has been 

 evident for some time that the number of species in this group is 

 much greater than the three admitted by Jordan and Evermann. 

 The value of the different species defined by Mr. Fowler, however, 

 is yet to be proved. It will be necessary to have a very large 

 amount of material before these questions of identity can be 

 fully decided. 



The species recognized by Mr. Fowler are: Lepisosteus 

 huronensis, L. osseus, L. treculii, L. clintonii, Cylindrosteus 

 platostomus, C. seabriccps, C. productus, C. agassizii, C. castel- 

 naudii, C. megalops, C. tristoechus, C. tropicus. 



In the same Proceedings, Mr. Fowler describes Dixonina 

 nemoptera, a new species of albuloid from Santa Domingo. This 

 genus differs from Albula in having the last ray of the dorsal 

 and anal filamentous. 



In the Proceedings of the National Museum, Vol. 40, 1911, W. 

 C. Kendall describes two very rare species of sole. Gymnarhirus 

 fasciatus, from Long Key, Fla., and G. nudus from Tisbury 

 Great Pond, on Marthas Vineyard. Both are doubtless strays 

 from the Gulf Stream. 



In the Bulletin of the University of California, Geology, Vol. 

 V, James Z. Gilbert describes a fossil flounder, Evesthes jordani, 

 notable for its large mouth, from Miocene rocks near Lompoc, in 

 California. This is one of the oldest-known of fossil flounders, 

 and its relations are evidently with the halibut tribe, and with 

 the genera still represented on the California coast. 



In Science, Vol. 30, H. H. Newman shows clearly that the killi- 

 fish Fundulus majalis is never viviparous.
