The preceding appear to be the only names under which this species has 

 been described. The names of Polynemus sele, P. plebeius, P. lineatus and P. 

 gelatinosus have been so recorded in the synonymy by some authors as to lead 

 to the inference that they had been applied to as many nominal species by 

 McClelland. That Gentleman, however, expressly stated that they were syno- 

 nyms of one species for which he proposed the name of P. gelatinosus.
