Corystion Klein, III, 762, 1776; type Trigla lapponica L. "Corys- 



TION CORPORE GRANULATO" Klein. 

 A synonym of Trigla L. 



In volume III of the Gesellschaft Schatiplats, lyyG, pp. 61-73, is 

 given a list of the genera of fishes. This includes so far as we note 

 all those proposed by Klein and those of Linnaeus also, those of Klein 

 appearing first. The names are not in alphabetical order, but follow the 

 sequence of Klein's Historia Piscum Naturalis. This seems to imply a 

 post-Linnsean acceptance of all of Klein's genera, even were their use in 

 the text rejected. One new name appears : 



Pristis Klein, III, 61, 1776; type "Pristis, der Sageschnautz." 

 Equivalent to Pristis Linck. 



XXI. SCOPOLI, Introductio ad Historiam Naturalem, Prague, 1777. 



JoHANN Anton Scopoli. 



x\ descriptive catalogue of the genera of animals and plants. The 

 genera of fishes are mostly those of Linnaeus and Gronow. No types are 

 named save in the two new, Percis and Pteridium. 



The following names given by Gronow are not accepted by Scopoli : 



Enchelyopus (regarded as a synonym of Blennius), Eleotris (= 

 GoBius), Plecostomus (=Loricaria), Coracinus (=Sci^na), Cal- 



LORHYNCHUS (=ChIM^RA), CaTAPHRACTUS (^PeGASUS), GyMNO- 



gaster (= Trichiurus), Cyclogaster (=Liparis), Hepatus, ( = 

 Teuthis) ; Amia is used only in the Linnsean sense. 



Liparis (Artedi) Scopoli, 453; type (not named) Cyclopterus liparis 

 L. 



Percis Scopoli, 454 ; type Cottus japonicus Pallas. 



Equivalent to Hippocephalus Swainson, 1839, not Percis Klein. 



Pteridium Scopoli, 454; type Coryph^na velifera Pallas (Pteraclis 

 Gronow). 



The following names of Gronow are introduced into Linnsean nomen- 

 clature by Scopoli, without mention of type. These date from Scopoli, 

 1777, if the Zoophylaceum of Gronow, 1763, be not accepted.
