Amphibia or Batrachia. 



Science (New series), vi, Sept. 17, 1897, pp. 



446, 447. 



It is maintained that the Linnfean name 



Amphibia should bo used as the name of the 



class, because it was flrst u.sed as a class name 



and also first restricted to the class. 



The Agonoid genns Percis of Scopoli. 



Science (New series), vi, Dec. 24, 1897, p. 958. 

 The name Percis, given by Scopoli in 1777, 

 should supersede the name Ilippoccphahis, 

 f;enerally used but not published until 1839.

laginous and the dorsal and anal fins invested 

 in the common skin, while the Ranzaniinse 

 have the skeleton "subosseous" and the rays 

 distinct. 



The Crustacean genus Scylla^'ides. 



Science (New series), vii, Jan. 21, 1898, pp. 

 98, 99. 

 It is shown "that the only species of Scyl- 

 larus known to Fabricius in 1775, when he 

 first made known that genus, was S. arctus — 

 the Cancer arctus of Liimfcus. That, being 

 the only species, is necessarily the type, and 

 therefore the name Scyllarus must be retained 

 for it." For the Scyllarus of Dana and mod- 

 ern authors the new name Scyllarides is 

 proposed.
