338 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [DeC; 



Bonaparte, prince of Canino) to a shark; "1st denn der Prinz von 

 Canino mit einen Hayen vergleichlichf" 



CAPELLARIA, p. VIII, for Chironedes Cuvier, preoccupied, but 

 already replaced by A^itennarius Cuv. 



CiESO, p. VIII, a substitute for "Chrysophrys Rtippell," that is 

 for Chrysophrys her da Rlipp. ; a synonym of Sparus. 



ECHEMYTHES, p. VIII, an unexplained substitute for Chryso- 

 tosus Lac, itself a synonym of Lampris. 



RONCHIFEX, p. VIII, a substitute for Cossyphus Cuv., preoc- 

 cupied, but Bodianus Bloch and Harpe Lac, are still older names for 

 the same genus. 



PODAGER, p. IX, a substitute for Gerres Cuvier, on account of 

 Gerris, an older name of a genus of insects. Podager is preoccupied 

 in birds and thus cannot replace Gerres. We must use Catochcenum 

 Cantor (1849) if Gerres is discarded; but Gerres and Gerris are words 

 from different roots. 



SYNERGUS, p. IX, a substitute for Megalurus Ag. (fossil) pre- 

 occupied in mammals. But Synergus is also preoccupied (Hartig, 

 1840, a genus of bees). I have therefore proposed the new name 

 Urocles Jordan as a substitute for both Megalurus and Synergus, the 

 type being Megalurus lepidotus Ag. 



ELLOPS, p. IX, a substitute for Helops, a genus of sturgeons, 

 U?.o^ being the original Greek form. 



APECHES, p. IX, a substitute for Johnius Bloch, a personal name. 



NEANIS, p. IX, a substitute for Julis Cuvier, regarded as pre- 

 occupied by Julus L. But the two words are of different origin and 

 meaning. 



EXOLES, p. IX, a substitute for Lamia Bon., itself a synonym of 

 Lacuna Cuvier. 



APEPTON, p. IX, a substitute for Gouania Nardo, a personal 

 name. 



ANEPISTOMON, p. IX, a substitute for the preoccupied name 

 Leptorhynckus Smith, itself a synonym of Ophisurus Lac, as restricted. 



SPANIUS, p. IX, a substitute for the preoccupied name, Lep- 

 tosoma Nardo, which is itself probably a synonym of Monochirus Raf . 



MAINA, p. IX, a substitute for Lethrinus Cuvier, regarded as 

 preoccupied by Lethrus Fabricius, a genus of beetles. 



MASSARIA, p. IX, a substitute for Liparis, on the ground that 

 the latter is used in botany.
