Abstract
PROF. HOWES says in NATURE, April 19, that the villi of the pelvic fins of this fish were “referred to” by me in NATURE of April 12. I think it is desirable to correct this inaccuracy. The villi in question were not “referred to” by me, but were described and figured by me on March 20 (published April 12). The description and figures were sent to NATURE a fortnight before the meeting of the Zoological Society at which Dr. Günther exhibited his specimens and mentioned the fact that Prof. Ehlers had “referred to” their existence in a recently published number of the Göttingen Nachrichten. I have not yet seen Prof. Ehler's remarks on the subject. My specimens were purchased from a well-known London dealer; and I know nothing of Dr. Bohl or the “signification of his intentions” as to specimens collected by him.
