hvilket I'dtryk Reinhardt senere i sin Afhandling om de 

 grønlandske Fiske (1838) rettede som enTryk- eller Skriv- 

 tejl til „l iauohuerne". I *;i:i dette sidsto Sted omhandler 

 han atter Grupperingen af denne Slægt, og samler Arterne 

 i 3 Grupper eller Underslægter, der dog ikke gives sær- 

 skilte Benævnelser, under Cuviers Slægtsnavn Clinus. 

 Denne Gruppering, der er baseret udelukkende paa Tand- 

 forholdene, kur vistnok ogsaa bibeholdes, saafremt man 

 i Virkeligheden finder det fornødent yderligere at inddele 

 denne Slægt. 



I den første Åfdeling sammenstiller Heink. (i 1838) 

 fremdeles de 2 Arter CUnus lumpenus (o: Lumpenus f abri- 

 cii), og ('linns medius; da det derimod kavde vist sig, at 

 Clinus aculeatus tillige kavde Tæiwler paa Vomer, blev 

 denne Art stillet i 2den Gruppe; den 3die Gruppe dannedes 

 endelig af ('limts gracilis, en ny Art. der blot lunde 

 Kjævetænder, men ingen Tænder paa Vomer og Palatin- 

 benene. 



Udskillelsen af de til Z/itwpem*S-Gruppen henhorende 

 Arter under særskilt bemevnede Slægter er forst bleven gjen- 

 nemfort afGill. der i sin ( 'atal. over Piskene paa Nord-Ame- 

 ricas Nordostkyst (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sei. Philad. 1861), og 

 senere i sin < (versigt over Familien Stichaeidae (samme'Tidsskr. 

 for lSti-t) henførte de ti af kam nævnte Arter fra dette 

 Gebet under ikke mindre end 5 forskjellige Slægter. Af 

 disse bor dog utvivlsomt idetmindste de 2, nemlig Ani- 

 sarchus og Centroblennius, inddrages, da de Characterer, 

 hvorpaa de er grundede, maa ansees for at være af ude- 

 lukkende specink Natur. Det samme er Tilfældet med den 

 af Ayres i 1855 opstillede Slægt Leptogunellus, for hvilken 

 Pallas's ' Blennius anguillaris fra det Stille Hav er Typen 

 (Proc. Acad. Calif. Nat, Sei. 1855). 



Disse Underslægter ville saaledes etter Tandforholdene 

 kunne characteriseres saaledes: 



A. Subg. Lumpenus, Reinh. 1835 — 36. Tænder i 

 Kjæveme og paa Palatinbenene. 



1. L. fdbricii, Reinh. 1835 — 36. (Grønland, Spits- 

 bergen). 



2.' L. medius, Reinli. 1838. (Grønland, Spits- 

 bergen). 



3. L. anguillaris, (Rall.) 1811. (Nord -Americas 

 Vestkyst). 



B. Subg. Leptoclinus, Gill (1861) 1864. Tcender 

 i Kjæveme, paa Palatinbenene, og paa Vomer. 



1. L. maculatus, (Fries) 1837. (Grønland, Nord- 

 Americas Østkyst, Spitsbergen. Nord-Europas Vest- 

 kyst). 



C. Subg. Leptoblennius, Gill I860. Tænder blot i 

 Kjæveme, 



1. L. lampetraeformis, (Walb.) 1792. (Grønland, 

 Island. Spitsbergen. Nord-Europas Vestkyst). 



2. L. nubilus, (Richards.) 1855. (Arctisk Nord-Ame- 

 rica. Spitsbergen?). 



3. L. serpentinus, (Storer) 1*4S— 51. (Nord-Americas 

 Østkyst). 



vomer), corrected by Reinhardt in his treatise on the#fishes 

 of Greenland (1838), as a misprint or an error in the 

 manuscript, to "Ganebuerne" (palatine bones). In this 

 paper tin' author again discusses the genus, distributing its 

 several species among three groups or sub-genera — not 

 however with a separate nomenclature under the common 

 generic name of Clinus, given by Cuvier. This classification. 

 based wholly on the arrangement of the teeth, should 

 doubtless be retained, in the event of further sub-division 



of the genus proving needful. 



In the first group, or sub-genus. Reinhardt classes 

 together (is:;s) the two spreies Clinus lumpenus (Lumpenus 

 fabricii) and Clinus medius; whereas (linns aculeatus, 

 since found to be furnished with teeth on- the vomer 

 also, is assigned a. place in the second group; the 

 third sub-division comprises (linns gracilis, a new species, 

 having teeth in the jaws only, none on the vomer and the 

 palatine bones. 



The first to arrange the different species of Lumpenus 

 among distinct genera was Gill, who, in his catalogue of 

 fishes occurring on the north-western shores of North 

 America (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sei. Philad. 1861). and subse- 

 quently in his synoptical review of the family Stichw- 

 idæ (ibid 1864), refers the 6 species there mentioned 

 as inhabiting that wide region to no less than 5 different 

 genera. Of these, however. 2 at least, viz. Aiiisarrhns and 

 Centroblennius, should unquestionably be excluded, the cha- 

 racters .on which they are based being wholly specific. The 

 same, too, is the case with the genus Leptogunellus, established 

 by Ayres in 1855, typical form Pallas's Blennius anguilla- 

 ris, inhabiting the Pacific Ocean ( Rroc. Acad. Calif. Nat. 

 Sei. 1855). 



These sub-genera, based accordingly on peculiarities 

 connected with the teeth, may be characterised as follows: — 



A. Subg. Lumpenus, Reinh. 1835 — 36. Teeth in 

 jutes and on the palatine bones. 



1. L. fdbricii, Reinh. 1835 — 36 (Greenland, Spitz- 

 bergen). 



2. L. medius, Reinh. 1838 (Greenland, Spitz- 

 bergen). 



3. L. anguillaris. (Pall.) 1811 (Western coast of 

 North America ). 



B. Subg. Leptoclinus, Gill (1861) 1864. Teeth in 



jaws, on the palatine bones, and on the romer. 



1. L. maculatus, (Fries) 1837 (Greenland, east coast 

 of North America. Spitzbergen, west coast of 

 Northern Europe). 



C. Subg. Leptoblennius, Gill (I860). Teeth in 



jaWS null/. 



1. L. lampetræformis , (Walb.) 1792 (Greenland, 



Iceland, Spitzbergen. west coast of Northern Europe). 



2. L. nubilus, (Richards) 1855. (Arctic regions of 

 North America. Spitzbergen?). 



3. L. serpentinus. (Storer) 1848 — 51 (Eastern shores 

 of North America ).
