Family DOROSOMATID.^. 



Genus Clupanodon Lacepede. 



The genus Clupanodon was proposed by Lacepede for various 

 species of herrings without teeth. Rafinesque in 1815 substituted 

 for it the name Thrissa, taken from the name of the first species named 

 under Clupajiodon {Clupea thrissa Osbeck and of Linnaeus) which is a 

 species of Konosirus Jordan & Snyder. Although Lacepede confused 

 this Chinese species with the American Opisthonema oglinum, the 

 generic name should apparently go with the original Chinese Clupea 

 thrissa. Different views have been taken of this case by ourselves 

 and others, and it is arguable that Clupanodon should replace Opis~ 

 thonema. In our present view Clupanodon should stand with thrissa, 

 the type of Konosirus. 



12. Clupanodon thrissa (Osbeck). {Clupea nasus Bloch). 

 No. 8031a, C. M. One large specimen. 



Family ENGRAULTD.^. 



Genus Anchoviella Fowler. 



This genus is distinguished from the other anchovies by the pro- 

 longation of the maxillary, which in the typical species reaches as far 

 as the vent. 



The name Anchovia Jordan & Evermann was proposed for a single 

 peculiar American species of anchovy, Engraulis macrolepidotus
