o Owing to a typographical error, this species instead of the next was designated as “short big eye” in Dr. Smith’s list of Woods 
Hole fishes. This error has resulted in uncertainty regarding some of the records furnished by Mr. Edwards for this and the 
following species, and such records have accordingly been omitted. »
