The species placed in Khombua in the text would then stand as follows: 1808. RHOMBUS PARU (Liiinicns). 1864. RIIOMnilS XANTHVRIIS (Qnoy & Gainiard). 13A5. PAIiOMKTA PALOXKTA (Jordan & Bollman). 1300. PALOMKTA MEDIA (Peters). 1807. PALOMETA MIMILLIMA (Ayres). 186H. PORONOTUS TRIACAMHUS (Peck). The identity of the South Atlantic Coast Rhombus alepulotus with the West Indian Rhombus paru is very doubtful. Page 973. The genus Aerotus, Bean, represents a family distinct from Icosteida;. Family CXXXVI(a). ACROTID^. Two additional specimens of Aerotus willoughbyi have lately t-omo to light—the one from Port Townsend, the other from Monter«iy. After Aerotus willoughbyi insert: Family CXXXVI(b). ZAPRORIDyE. Body robust, moderately compressed, the back not elevated, the belly not carinate. Body covered with small adherent cycloid scales, which cover the membranes of all the fins except the distal third, as also the gill membranes, lower jaw, cheeks, opercles, and nuchal region. No lateral line; no spinnles. Head short, the nape not elevated, the forehead broad and abruptly convex in profile; eye moderate, placed high; preoper- cle, parietal region, and region about eye with very large open mucous pores. No spines on head; edges of membrane bones of head covered with thick scaly skin. Mouth moderate, t
