than half its length with recurved spinules. Second dorsal continuous with caudal with a deep notch between. Anal low, falcate. No tail filament. Six rods in the anterior lamina of upper jaw; lateral rods behind the»lamina low, oblique. Each lamina of lower jaw with two concavities more or less sinuate in the margin. Cephalic. organ on the snout in front of eye, its inner surface armed with about seventy spinous denticles. Claspers tripartite. Anterior ‘ventral clasper with five spiny denticles on the median side. Lateral canal with fine sinuations ; jugular branch arising directly from the suborbital a short distance behind the maxillo-mandibular.
Color in formalin dark brown with lighter dot-like and elongate spots, often indistinctly vermiculate owing to fusion of spots. On the side of body behind the ventral three pale broad lines below the lateral canal and one above it. Dorsals, anal, caudal as well as free margins of pectoral and ventral blackish.
Described from a male specimen, the type, 62 cm. long as measured to tip of caudal, No. 916, Science College Museum, Tokyo. It was purchased by me in the Tokyo Market.

Tail slightly longer than head and trunk; head rather short, moderately com- pressed ; eye midway between tip of snout and angle of mouth ; anterior nostril tubular, half as long as diameter of eye ; posterior nostril without tube and very close to eye. Jaws equal, completely closed, with uniserial pointed teeth ; upper jaw with ten teeth on each side, of which the anterior ones are much larger ; lower jaw also with about ten teeth on each side ; none on vomer. Mouth-cleft extending backward from eye more than the diameter of latter ; gill openings slightly shorter than diameter of eye.
Color in formalin reddish brown, rather profusely adorned with whitish spots ; the Same maculation on the under surface. The largest spots are half as large as eye in diameter and sometimes larger than the interspaces ; posteriorly the spots are smaller and more distant ; inside of mouth similarly spotted ; angle of mouth, gill-opening and vent without special coloration. Dorsal fin spotted anteriorly but plain posteriorly ; Anal entirely without spots ; both vertical fins narrowly edged with whitish.
The species is very closely allied to Gymnothorax functatus Bloch and Schneider
described by Giinther and figured by Day, but differs from it in dentition and markings
and in having a white edge on the dorsal and anal fins,

g, some of them bifurcated posteriorly, but the length of
of caudal. Caudal rays long,
the branches can not be measured owing to the bad state of preservation. Three dorsal caruncles perforated at tip, at a short distance in front of dorsal rays ; the median caruncle largest, at about one-fifth head length in front of the insertion of dorsal; lateral caruncle about one-third the median in size and slightly more advanced. Skin covered throughout with fine shagreen ; eyes and the groove for the cephalic tentacle are the only naked areas of the body surface.
Color in formalin jet-black ; all fins and appendages, inner surface of mouth and gill-opening similarly colored. Terminal fringe of cephalic tentacle whitish, bulb blackish.
The type (No. 21251, Alan Owston’s Collection) is the only specimen known.
It is 44 cm. long as measured from tip of snout to that of the longest caudal rays.

Photophores:—The photophores of this species are like those of Scopelus eclongatus described by Raffaele in Mittheil. Zool. Stat. Neapel, IX, p. 185, pl. VIL, fig. rt and of Notoscopelus quercinus described by Good and Bean, in Oceanic Ichthyology, pp. 83-84, pl. XXVIJ, fig. 83, the differences being very trifling. Three photophores on mandible, one just behind angle of preoperculum ; pectorals four and thoracics seven in number, of which the lowest pectoral and the posterior six thoracics
form a strongly curved row with the convexity directed downward; a pectoral on

Erratum to vol. II. (Issued Oct. 15, 1911.)
There is now no doubt that Hemzrhamphus elongaius described as new in vol. II (p. 22) of this monograph 1s identical with Lzleptorhamphus longirostris (Cuvier), as suggested by President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University and Mr. David G. Stead, naturalist to the Board of Fisheries for New South Wales, to both of whom I
am deeply obliged. The name and synonyms must therefore be corrected as
follows :—

emarginate posterior margin, the tip not extending to ventral; ventral inserted below origin of dorsal, extending to vent; caudal emarginate, with pointed lobes. Scales rather large, cycloid; lateral line decurved, continuous to base of caudal.
Color in formalin dark brown, pale below; each scale with a dark central portion and paler base and margin; about eleven dark bluish brown cross bands very different in width; a median dark band extends from nape to base of caudal on back. Head of similar color as body, but without distinct markings; under surface and lower portion of side dark bluish black. Dorsal dusky, with blackish patches on the membrane between adjacent rays and near edges of fin rays; anal light dusky; caudal more dusky, the two fins without markings; pectorals and ventrals slightly dusky, with dark brown patches on each ray near tip. Hard horny tubercles on the sides of the head, base of anal, and under surface of base of caudal.
Described and figured from a male specimen with fully developed ornamental sexual colors and tubercles, 12.5 cm. long as measured to tip of caudal, taken at Go Village, Prov. Bichu, by Mr. Amenomori, No. 2775, Science College Museum, Tokyo.

Ventral disk rather large, much longer than wide, its length 12 in the length of head measured as above. Body thickly covered with large tubercles which are armed with small projections on the sides and base ; interspaces between the tubercles very narrow and entirely naked ; largest tubercles on the sides of body above pectoral ; those on head much smaller, and those on chin and caudal peduncle still smaller; narrow posterior part of head, axil of pectoral, and small space immediately posterior to the ventral disk entirely free from tubercles ; basal part of all the fins with a few small tubercles. Color dark reddish yellow, paler below; all the fins pale.
Described and figured from a dried specimen 9.2 cm. long as measured to tip of caudal, obtained about Niigata, Prov. Echigo, by Mr. Yamaguchi.
Cyclolumpus, the new genus with Cyclolumpus asperrimuts as type is defined as follows :
Body somewhat oblong, closely covered with large tubercles all over except fins, narrow posterior part of head, axil of pectoral etc.; ventral disk smaller than in Azz77-
crotremus, a Closely allied genus.
