GILL, Theodore. The nomenclature of 

 the MyliobatidiL' or Ai'tobaticUe. 



Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xvii, No. 990, Feb. 

 25, 1895, pp. 111-114. 

 Aetobatus is retained for A'etobatis rather 

 tlian Myliohatis, and the family name Aetoba- 

 tidiB and subfamilies Myliobatin;o and Aeto- 

 batinaa provisionally retained. The synonyms 

 of all are added. 



On the Torpedoes. 



Science (New series), I, No. 18, May 3, 1895, 

 pp. 502-503. 

 It was shown that the name Torpedo was 

 first applied (by Forskal in 1775) as a generic 

 term to the electric catfish of the Nile, subse- 

 quently called Malapterurus, and that for the 

 Torpedo rays Blainville's name, Narcobatus, 

 must be revived. 



The genera of Branchiostomidse. 



Am. Naturalist, xxix. No. 341, May, 1895, 

 pp. 457-459. 

 The family of Branchiostomidae has five 

 genera successively named Branchiostoma, 

 Epigonichthyi, Asymetron, Paraiiiphioxus, and 

 Amphioxides. Amphioxides is a new name 

 proposed for Branchiostotna pelagicum. The 

 term Actiiiomimes is proposed for the so-called 

 rays of tlie Branchiostomids and the so-c.dled 

 ventral fins are designated the Sympodium. 



The lowest of the vertebrates and 



their origin. 



Science (New series), i, No. 24, June 14, 

 1895, pp. 645-649. 

 A review of Mr. Arthur Willey's work, en- 

 titled "Amphioxus and the Ancesti'y of the 

 Vertebrates," is given. Five genera aud 8 

 species of Branchiostomids are recognized, and 

 the specific characters generally used are crit- 

 icized and others suggested. The relations of 

 the including groups and their bearing on the 

 questian of ancestry are briefly considered. 



The relation of the ancient aud mod- 

 ern Ceratodontidie. 



Science (New series), I, No. 26, June 28, 

 1895, p. 725. 

 It is claimed that Ceratodus is not repre- 

 sented by living species, but tliat those belong 

 to a distinct genus, which should be called 

 Neoceratodus. The ancient forms referred to 

 the former belong to at least two genera, Cera- 

 todus and Anticeratodus (new).
