PISCES.

Dicrotus (Gthr.). Mr. Johnson shares Dr. Gunther’s opinion, that this is 
merely the undeveloped state of some species of Thyrsites or Gempylus. Proc. 
Zool. Soc. 1865, p. 436. ^ 
^ Thyrsites^Ruvettm, and Trometlieus. Mr. Johnson is inclined to keep 
these genera distinct, instead of uniting them into one, as has been done by 
Gunther. In fresh specimens of JRuvettus the lateral line may he distinctly 
seen. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865, p. 437. 
4 Trichiurus malahaticus, sp. n.. Day, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865, p. 20, or Fish. 
Malah. p. 65, pi. 5, from Malabar. 
Trichiurus haumela. Some remarks by Kner, Novara, Fisch. p. 140. 
AcRONURIDiE. 
Acanthurus. Prof. Kner (Novara, Fische) has made remarks on the fol- 
lowing species : — A. matoides, A. lineatus, Axcelehicus, and A. strigosus^ 
pp. 210-212. lie proposes the generic name Scopas for the species with 
.3 or 5 dorsal spines. As regards his remarks on AcronuruSy we can only be- 
lieve that he does not know this^genus from autopsy. 
Naseus lituratus described by Emer, 1. c. p. 213. 
^ Keris [better Ceris'] maculatus, sp. n., Kner, Denkschr. Ak. Wiss. Wien, xxiv. 
taf. 2. fig. 2, from the Pacific. 
Carangid^. 
TracJiurus traciiurus is described from Chinese and Australian examples by 
Kner, who, however, unites Trachtirus with Caranx. Novara, Fisch. p. 150. 
Caranx. Prof. Kner gives descriptions of, or makes remarks on, the fol- 
lowing species (Novara, Fisch.); — C. rottleri, p. 150; C. muroadsi,^. 151; 
C. affinisy p. 151 ; C. tormSy p. 152;'^C. para (0. & V.), p. 153; C. gymno-

Caranx melanostethos, sp. n.. Day, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865, p. 23, and Fish. 
Malah. p. 83, pi. 6, from Malabar. 
Argyriosus setipinnis. M. Guichenot states that a number of species have 
been confounded under this name, and that the Paris Museum alone possesses 
fourteen (Ann. Soc. Linn. Maine et Loire, 1865, pp. 32-44). He maintains 
the genera Scyris, JSIephariSy GallichthySy Argyriosusy Vomery and llynnisy 
uniting them in a family, Vomerid^. The new specific nam^ are V. sene- 
galensis, p. 35 V. gorecnsisy p. 37 ; V. sanctce marthce, p. 38 ; V. columhiensisy 
p. 39^ V. nmrtinicensis, p. 39;'^F. dominicen^s, p. 40 yV. notee-hovacensisy 
p. 41 V. sancUpetriy p. 41, from Martinique ; F. gahoncmsisy p. 42 V. hra- 
siliensis, p. 4Sy V. cayennensis, p. 43 ; and^F. cubes y p. 44. 
J Argyriosus vomer. Prof. Kner figures the pyloric appendages. Novara, 
Fisch. p. 160, taf. 7. fig. 2.

Psettus. Prof. Kner’s statement (1. c. p. 164) that P. argenteus has teeth on 
the palate is perfectly correct, and also P. falciformis and P. seh^ are provided 
with such teeth.
