Dixonina nemoptera, a remarkable new fish of the family of 

 Albulidse from Santo Domingo. 



In the same proceedings Mr. Fowler gives notes on Salmonoid 

 fishes, describing as new, Stomias bonapartei from Bonaparte's 

 collection from Sicily, Synodus dominicensis from Santo 

 Domingo, and Synodus dermatogenys from Hawaii. 



In the same proceedings Mr. Fowler lists the fishes of 

 Delaware. 



In the same proceedings Mr. Fowler describes a new flat 

 fish from New Jersey under the name Citharichthys micros. 



In the same proceedings Mr. Fowler gives notes on the Clupe- 

 oid fishes. The new genus Heringia is established for Clupea 

 amazonica Steindachner. Ilisha narrangansettce is described 

 from Narragansett Bay. The subgenus Anchoviella is proposed 

 for Engraulis perfasciatus. This group includes nearly all the 

 species of Anchovia, and it is perhaps of generic value as dis- 

 tinct from Anchovia and from Engraulis. Anchovia scitula is 

 described from San Diego, Anchovia lepidentostole from Suri- 

 nam, and Anchovia platyargyrea from St. Martins. 



In the same proceedings for 1911, Mr. Fowler describes new 

 species from Venezuela and Ecuador. 



In the Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. Dr. Jordan and W. F. Thompson

 describes a new minnow from Julesburg, Colorado, under the 

 name of Notropis horatii. 



In the Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash. Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell discusses 

 the scales of various fishes, concluding that the soles are not 

 degraded flounders but degenerate descendants from some flat 

 fish from which both have been derived. This conclusion has 

 also been reached by Professor G. H. Parker from a study of 

 the optic nerves of the two types. 



In the Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., Vol. XXX, 1911, John 

 Treadwell Nichols has notes on Teleostean fishes. He describes
