Collichthys lucida. The Recorder has unfortunately com-

Sir J. Richardson, who, on examining the examples of Chinese

but on examination it proves to be a young Collichthys 
biaurita. Our largest examples of C. lucida (8 inches) and this

scapulary lobe of the latter being as much developed as in (7.
