 »ialium quce in itinere per Japoniam suscepto annis 1823-30 collegit, notii 

 observationibus ct adiimbrationibus illustravit P. F. de Sicbold. Conjunctis 

 studiis C. J. Temminck et H. Schlcgel pro vertcbratis, atqtie IV. de Haan pro 

 invertebratis elaborata. (Part IR, Pisces.) Edited by Carl Theodor Ernst 

 von Siebold, the text of fishes mostly by Hermann Schlegel. 



CcENRAAD Jacob Temminck (1770-1858) ; Hermann Schlegel (1804-1884). 



Temminck and Schlegel gave no specific names when but one species oc- 

 curred in the genus. The names of type species have been given by subse- 

 quent w^riters. 



Perca-Labrax Temminck & Schlegel, 2 ; orthotype Labrax japonicus Cuv. & Val. 

 Name rejected by Bleeker and by Boulenger because no new genus was intended, 

 Labrax being merely entered as a subgenus of Perca. Replaced by Lateola- 

 BRAX Blkr. But an argument can be made for the retention of Percalabrax. 



Aulacocephalus Temminck & Schlegel, 15; orthotype A. temmincki Blkr. 



Anoplus Temminck & Schlegel, 17 ; orthotype Anopolus banjos Rich. Name pre- 

 occupied ; replaced by Banjos Blkr. (1879).

Louis Agassiz. 



Orthacanthus Agassiz, III, pi. 45; orthotype O. cylindricus Ag. (fossil). Regarded 

 by Woodward as a synonym of Pleuracanthus Ag., which preoccupied name 

 it may replace. 



Pleurodus Agassiz, III, 174; orthotype P. rankinei Ag. (fossil). No definition 

 until accepted by Hancock and Althey, 1872. Regarded as preoccupied by 

 Pleurodon (1840), replaced by Pleuroplax Woodw., 1889. 



Cladacanthus Agassiz, III, 176; orthotype C. paradoxus Ag. (fossil); name only, 

 defined first by Davis. Trans. Roy. Dublin Soc., I, 1883, 365. A synonym of 

 Erismacanthus. 



Cricacanthus Agassiz, III, 176; orthotype C. jonisi Ag. Name only, hence having 

 no place in the system. 



Gyropristis Agassiz, III, 177; orthotype G. obliquus Ag. Name only, hence with- 

 out place in the system. 



Cladodus Agassiz, III, 196; logotype C. mirabilis Ag. (fossil). 



Sphenonchus Agassiz, III, 201; logotype S. elongatus Ag. (fossil). A synonym, as 

 restricted, of Acrodus Ag. 



Diplodus Agassiz, III, 204; logotype D. gibbosus Ag. (fossil). Regarded by Wood- 

 ward as a synonym of Pleuracanthus Ag. Both names are preoccupied. 

 Diplodus has been replaced by Didvmodus Cope (1883), which is also 

 preoccupied (as Didymodon Blake, 1863, a mammal) and again replaced by 

 Dicranodus Garman (1885). Orthacanthus Ag. may replace Pleuracan- 

 thus, and some of the names given by Owen, as Dittodus, have priority 

 over Dicranodus. It is not yet certain that the teeth called Diplodus and 

 the spines called Orthacanthus belong to the same fish.
