subjenera : — a. Aylopon (Rafih,) for Anthias sneer; it appears that Cuvier 
and Valenciennes [and probably all other ichthyologists] confounded with it 
several other species, distinguished by M. Guichenot as Ay. ivicie, Ay, hts- 
<panm, Ay. 7'isso{, Ay. 7ticeec7ists, Ay. ca7ia7'ie7isis, Ay. algeriensis ; . further, 
>/ Ay. 7na7'f,i7iicensis and Ay. 77\au7'itianus are added as two other new species.

from St. Helena. Hr. Gunther thinke it to be the type of a subsection, 
Hola7itliiaSf on account of its convex caudal fin. 
Serra7ius. Prof. Poey has made notes ^n the following species (Hepert. 
Fis.-nat. Cuba, ii. pp. 154—167) : — S. ymsa, on its pyloric'appendages j S.pe- 
t)'osus (Poey), probably =/S^. mrdmalis (Val.) ; S. felimis — repa7idu8

. Mr. Hay describes Priaca7ithichthy3 maderaspatensisy g. et. sp. n., Proc. 
Zool. Soc. 1868, p. 193, from Madras. The specimens are about 1§ inch long, 
of the aspect of a 8e7'ra7ius, having a serrated [spine at the preeopercular 
angle; also the ventral spine is serrated. [Mr. Hay does not appear to have 
been aware that the young of many Acanthopterygians have a similer arma- 
ture, which disappears with age. The Recorder has examined one of the 
typical specimens, and has no doubt that it is a young 8er7'a7iuSf perhaps /S', 
latifasciatus, Schleg.] ]

Cxcxnjoroge, he7igale7isis. Hr. Bleeker states that three forms have been con- 
founded under this name, viz. Lalriis octovittatm (Lac.,s=H. duodecifxt- 
Imeata, C. & V.), ITolocexitrus qumqxielmeMKs (BL), and JI. hengalexxsis (Bl.) ; 
lie describes all three, Versl. & Meded. Ak. Wet. Amsterd. 1868, iii. pp. 64- 
77. He also states that Eiacope octovittata (C. & V.) is an abnormal con- 
dition of G. lengalexisis. [The Recorder has convinced himself, from a re- 
newed examination of the examples in the British Museum, that at least 
the two Blochian species cannot be maintained as distinct species.]
