designed to indicate that the 
fish thus designated is fully 
described on pages 22 and 23 
of the present issue of this 
- Jounud.- Ia sextain instan¬ 
ces, where a recent removal 
of fish has been deemed 
necessary previous to a re¬ 
vision of this list, informa¬ 
tion regarding its location 
can be obtained from the 
regularly appointed assist¬ 
ants, who are constantly in 
attendance for the sole pux- 
pase of answering questions. 
Special attention is di¬ 
rected to several new occu¬ 
pants of the tanks of un¬ 
usual interest. Among these 
is the Proteus, in tank w, the 
Hell-benders, in table tank' 
r, and the Sea-horses, in 
table tank 1. For these lat¬ 
ter rare marine creatures, 
our grateful acknowledge¬ 
ments are due to Eugene G. 
Blackford. The recent visitor will also be 
attracted by the numerous and beautiful va¬ 
rieties of actinae or sea anemonies.
