ON THE OCCURRENCE OF DRY-

MARCHON DICHROUS (PETERS)
IN BRITISH GUIANA
Four specimens of Drymarchon dichrous (Peters)
were secured by the expedition sent to Demerara in
1914 by the University of Michigan. The species
was found at Dunoon on the Demerara River, and
the specimens were taken oh the sand reef, and in
the lowland forest, and in trees, on the ground and
in the water. This locality greatly extends the range
of the species.

CORYTHOICHTHYS
In Jordan & Evermann, Fish. N. M. Amer. 1.
p. 761, the name Corythoichthys Kaup, given to a
genus of Pipe-fishes was spelled, through a copyist's
slip: "Corythroichths," with a redundant r. This
error was not noticed at the time, and has been
copied by the writer, who failed to verify the spell-
ing, and by various subsequent authors, including a
valued correspondent of Copeia.
