In Ophiohlennius wehbii I find that the comb-like outer series of teeth is developed, althongli very small ; this genus diflers from other Blenniidse in tlie presence of syniphysial canines and of more than one lateral canine in tiie lower jaw. Xiphasia has the iiead, mouth, teeth, gill-openings, &c. of Petroscirtes, but diflfers from that genus in the very long tail and greatly increased number of fin-rays and vertebrae. Fig. A. B.
