p 196. Jordan, {^) p 395, says ÜiRt fasciafa Holb., is apparently the correct name 

 ibr the American form , whicb is distinct from ornata . the West Indian species 

 — Bihronia lingulata, Cocco, is described by Facciolä ^^j p 264, and Peloria heckeli, 

 Cocco, id. p 265.

Jordan (^) gives an Identification of the species of Cyprinidae and Cato- 

 stomidae described by Girard in the Proceediiigs of the Academy of Natural 

 Sciences of Philadelphia, 1856. This useful work contains positive ideutifications 

 of very many of bis types not hitherto recognized, accompanied by a number of 

 synonymic notes too numerous to be recorded. A few of these notes are taken 

 from manuscripts of Meek, who has examined the series of Girard's types in the 

 Academy of Philadelphia. 

 Ictiobus velifer, Raf. Jordan & Meek, (1) p 2 and 16, have as yet been able to distin- 

 guish 3 species only as belonging to the group Carpoides, viz. : velifer, Raf., Cy- 

 primis, Le S., and carpio, Raf. ; it still remains a matter of doubt whether timidus, 

 damalis, grayi, thomsoni, bison, selene, cutisanserinus, and difformis are really distinct 

 species, or merely varieties of one polymorphous species velifer ; ou biwalis, 

 Euph., and carpio, Raf., and allied species p 13 — Catostomus teres, Mitch. Notes 

 on the coloration by Gilbert (2) p 10 — Campostoma anomalum, Raf. Coloration 

 in young specimens by Gilbert (2) pH — Hybognathus nuchalis. Ag. Gilbert [-) 

 p 12, remarks that Girard's species, argyritis, evansi, and placiius cannot be di- 

 stinguished from nuchalis, of which a diagnosis is given; Jordan & Meek [^) p 2, 

 give notes on the life colours — Pimephales. Blatchley (2) is of opinion that 

 Hyborhynchus is nnworthy of retention, and that there are only 2 species, P. pro- 

 melas and notatus, and of these the synonymy and notes are given p 63. Jordan 

 & Meek [^) p 3, and 9 have identified Coliscus parietaUs, Cope, as the young of 

 P. promelas, Raf., and give further notes on this species — Leuciscus idus, L., is 

 described and figured by Sundman pt. 5 p 1 pl. 13 — Cliola vigilax, B. and G., = 

 velox and vivax, Girard, = Hybopsis tuditanus, Cope, = Alburnops taurocephalus, 

 Hay; Jordan & Meek (^) p 3 — Hybopsis storerianus, Kirtl. (= Ceratichthys lucens 

 Jord.), and dissimilis, Kirtl., are noted p 6 and 7 ; gelidus, Girard, described and 

 life-colours given p 13; Jordan & Meek (^) — Notropis Unis, Jord., = alabamae
