Bovichthys psyclirolutes. An adult specimen from the island of Si Paul is 
described by Kner. Novara, Fisch. p. 128, taf. 6. fig. 3. 
Latilus. Mr. Gill unites L. chrysalis, L. princeps (with which JDcJcaya 
anomala, Cooper, is evidently ^dentical ; see also Zool.^Record, i. p. 166), and 
a very doubtful new species, C. ajffinis, into a genus Caulolatilus, which he 
characterizes. He also proposes the generic Prolatilus for L.jugularis,

Thalassophryne. Capt. Dow remarks on this fish, The natives seemed 
quite familiar with the existence of the spines and of the emission from them 
of a poison which, when introduced into a wound, caused fever; but in no 
case was a wound caused by one of them known to result seriously. The 
slightest pressure of the finger at the base of the spine caused the poison to 
jet a foot or more from the opening of the spine.” Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865^ 
p. 677. 
Pediculati. 
Dr. Bleeker has given an account of the species occurring in 
the East-Indian Archipelago (Atl. Ichthyol. v. pp. 1-24, pis. 194- 
200) ; they are, one Halicutaa and twenty-four Antennarius. As 
regards the latter, the author has laid too much value on the 
coloration, and consequently unduly increased the number 
of species, as we have maintained on a former occasion. No 
new species is described, but the name of Antennarius leprosus 
(Blkr., not Eyd. and Soul.) is changed into A, gilntheri, 
Antennarius marmoratus. Prof. Steenstrup confirms the Recorder’s opin- 
ion (Fish. iii. p. 186) thav Chironectes arcticus (Diib. & Kor.) is founded 
merely on a specimen of this species ; he adds the very curious fact, that the 
appendices ciitanese rarre,” which formed the specific character of Ch. arc- 
ticus, are nothing but the prominent parts of the parasitic Pennclla sagitta.
