Remarks on the Synonymy. — In the annual 

 review of Danske Videnskabernes Selskab for 1835 — 36 

 (printed in Part 5. 1837). the generic name of Lumpenus 

 was given to a group of Blenniidae occurring on the coast 

 of Greenland and in the waters adjacent. Muller's Blennius 

 lumpenus (Zool. Dan. Prodr. p. IX. 1776). of which Fa- 

 bricius a few years afterwards (1780) furnished a full 

 description, in his Fauna Grænlandica, serving as the typical 

 form; by Reinhardt tbis species is designated Lumpenus 

 fabrieii. In the same group he further comprised L. medius 

 and L. aculeatus, two new species, examples of which were 

 preserved in the Zoological Museum at Copenhagen, without 

 however giving any diagnosis of the species. 



The chief generic characters enumerated by the au- 

 thor were as follows: — lateral line indistinct; branchioste- 

 gous membrane -free" on the throat, and furnished with 6 

 rays; teeth on the "Plovskjærbenet" (ploughshare-bone. i.e.
