<i>Occella impi</i>, a New Species of Sea Poacher from British Columbia with Notes on Related Species (Agonidae, Pisces)
Occella impi, a new species of sea poacher, is described from a single specimen captured in the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia. Occella impi differs from other species of Occella in having spinous plates on the breast, the anus nearer the anal fin, and fewer anal rays; also, the numbers of bony body plates are distinctive. A key to the known species of Occella, based primarily on the numbers of bony body plates, is included. The size of the maxillary barbel and number of infralateral plates are shown to be characteristic of the genera Occella and Stellerina. </jats:p
<i>Occella</i> to Supersede <i>Occa</i> for a Genus of Agonid Fishes
The generic name Occa Jordan and Evermann (1898), applied to several agonid fishes of the North Pacific Ocean, is preoccupied by Occa Chesnon, 1835 (Aves). Chesnonia Iredale and Whitley 1969 was proposed as a substitute for the junior homonym, but Chesnonia is a junior synonym of three generic names proposed by Jordan and Hubbs (Mem. Carnegie Mus. 10: 93–346, 1925). From these we select Occella (type species, Agonus dodecaëdron Tilesius) to replace Occa Jordan and Evermann. Iburina Jordan and Hubbs, a subjective generic synonym of Occella, is retained for a subgenus of Occella; Iburiella is treated as a subjective subgeneric synonym of Iburina. </jats:p

Richner-Hanhart syndrome (tyrosinemia II): Early diagnosis of an incomplete presentation with unusual findings
We report a 2-year-old girl with an incomplete form of Richner-Hanhart syndrome (tyrosinemia II) whose presenting sign was the appearance of vesicles on the fingertips. In a few months these lesions evolved into typical hyperkeratotic plaques also involving the palms and soles. Photophobia and frequent tearing were observed but there was no intelligence impairment. Serum and urine tyrosine levels confirmed the diagnosis. A low tyrosine and phenylalanine diet permitted good control of the disease with a complete resolution of the oculo-cutaneous symptoms in a month. We emphasize the importance of an early diagnosis of this syndrome to avoid the risk of mental retardation. © 2006 The Authors
