606 GLEANINGS AMONG THE PLEURONECTIDS. 



SUBDIVISIONS. 



Messrs. Jordan and Goss consider all the flatfishes to belong to one 

 family (Pleuronectidae) which is divided into six subfamiles :— (1) Hip- 

 poglossinee, (2) Pleuronectimc [=Psettinse], (3) Platessiu* [=Pleuro. 

 nectimel, (4) Oncopterinre, (5) Solein», and (G) Cynoglossm*. Pre- 

 viously Professor Jordan had. for a time at least, adopted the families 

 Pleuronectidae and Soleidse. Whether these should be reunited or still 

 kept distinct may be regarded as an open question till an anatomical 

 investigation has been made. The views of different authors may be 

 learned from the following partial synonym of the two groups.
