species, because it has a smaller eye than is represented by Bloch. However, 
it is more probable that the eye has been figured too large by Bloch, and 
that the species proposed by Dr. Steindachner is synonymous with C. stellifera.

in his statement that this species has pseudobranchiae, although they are 
very thin.

Trichiurus lepkirus. Mr. Gill has critically examined the account given by 
Hoy of two fishes which he identified with T. lepturus (L.). Dike Dr. Flem- 
ing he comes to the conclusion that Hoy’s first specimen was a much injured 
example of Trachypterus ; and in the second he has recognized a Cuban fish, 
lately discovered by Prof. VoQj^Euoxymetopon tceniatus. Proc. Acad. Nat.

; Pterycombus brama. Prof. Lilljeborg has examined this species, and given 
! a detailed description of its external characters in the memoir mentioned 
above (p. 136) j he also considers it closely related to Brama. 
Brama longipinnis. Prof. Lilljeborg mentions, in his memoir on Ptcry- 
combiiSf that Brama raschii (Esmark) is identical with this species. 
SCOMBRID^. 
Dr. Cooper describes and figures an Orcynus pacijicus as a new species, Proc. 
Calif. Acad. Nat. Sc. iii. p. 75, fig. 19. Cuvier and Valenciennes have already 
described a Thynnus pacijieus with long pectoral fins ; and if the Californian 
species be distinct from it, it must receive another name. 
Thynnus tkunnina. Prof. Nilsson reports the occun’ence of this species 
in the Scandinavian seas, and adds a description and figure. (Efvers. Svensk. 
Vetensk. Akad. Forhandl. 1864, p. 499, taf. 5. 
Auxis rochei. Prof. Nilsson reports the occurrence of this species in the 
Scandinavian seas, and adds a description and figure. (Efvers. Svensk. Vetensk. 
Akad. Forhandl. 1864, p. 500, taf. 6. 
Echeneis. Mr. Gill divides the species of this genus into two groups and 
six genera, viz,, Itemorce with Echeneis {E. remora), Bemoropsis (E. brachy- 
ptora), Bhombochirus (E. ostaochir), Bemilegia {E. scalata) j and Leptechcneidcs
