RAFINESQUE, l8lS 91 



Soranus, 88. 



Cordorinus, 89. 



Substitute for Corydoras Lacepede. 



Amiatus, 89. 



Substitute for Amia L. Amiatus becomes eligible if Amia Gronow be ac- 

 cepted instead of Apogon. 



Sayris, 89. 



Substitute for Scombresox Lacepede. 



Ramphistoma, 89; "Raf. Belone Gronow." 



The word Belone was not used in a generic sense by Gronow, but first by 

 Cuvier in 1817. Rafinesque apparently refers to synonymy of the species as quoted 

 from Gronow by Lacepede.* This reference does not seem to justify the substitu- 

 tion of Ramphistoma for Belone. 



Odumphus, 89. 



Onopionus, 89. 



Guaris, 90. 



Typhlinus, 90, "sp. do." 



That is, of Syngnathus, earlier called Typhle by Rafinesque, which name is 

 used by Lacepede for a "blind" genus of mammals, but without mention of type. 



Phyllophorus, 90. 



Homolenus, 90. 



This and the two preceding are placed in the same family as Syngnathus. 



Goniodermus, 90, "sp. do." 



Of OSTRACION. 



Cephalopsis, 90, "sp. do." 



Of DiODON. 



Orbidus, 90. 



For "Spheroide" of Lacepede. 



Oonidus, 90. 



For "Ovoide" of Lacepede. 



Tangus, 91. 



Said to be the same as "Heptaca" Rafinesque. 



Piratia, 91. 

 Opictus, 91. 



*In the synonymy of Esox belone Lacepede has this quotation : 



"Belone et raphis, id est acus. Petri Artedi Synonymia Piscium etc., auctore 

 J. G. Schneider, etc. 



"Gronov. Mus. i, n. 39. Zooph., p. 117, n. 362." 



In a hasty reading, Rafinesque must have ascribed both sentences to Gronow, 

 who apparently did not use the name Belone.
