Animal" Cuvier refers the figure of Catesby to it. In this mistake Cuvier 

 and Valenciennes have been followed by all subsequent authors, who seem 

 to have taken it for granted that the species bearing the name of vulgaris 

 must be the common one, or, omitting to look up the authority of the spe- 

 cific name auritus, have considered that name as obsolete. In the seventh 

 volume of the " Ilistoire Naturelle des Poissons," referring to the figure in 

 Catesby, the authors have again described the Labrus auritus under the 

 name of Pomotis Catesbei. In the illustrated edition of the "Rcgne Ani- 

 mal," the Pomotis auritus is very well figured under the name of Pomotis 

 vulgaris.
