6 The name Johnius Bloch & Schneider should be used instead of Corvina (pp. 572, 

 932) for the section of Scicena characterized by the absence of bony serrae on the pre- 

 opercle. The intergradations among the species will perhaps prevent this group- 

 from being considered as a genus from Scicena. 



Johnius Bloch & Schneider, Syst. Ichth., 1801, p. 74; type (as restricted by Cu- 

 vier & Gill) Johnius carutta Bloch. (Named for John, a missionary in Tranquebar.)
