 Regular meeting — The President in the Chair. 



Dr. Binney, on taking the Chair, returned thanks to the 

 Society for the honor conferred upon him in electing him 

 President. 



Dr. D. H. Storer read a paper upon such parts of Dr. 

 De Kay's Report on the Fishes of New York as related to 

 Fishes found in Massachusetts. 



Dr. S., after speaking of the great amount of information con- 

 tained in the work, proceeded to mention some of the defects and 

 errors which he had noticed, confining his remarks to such species 

 as are found also in Massachusetts, and promising promptly to re- 

 tract any thing which should be shown to be unjust. 



Page 16. Pileoma semif as datum. Both the description and 

 figure of this fish place it in the genus Etheostoma of Rafinesque. 



Page 20. Boleosoma tessellatum. Dr. S. read a description of 

 this fish before this Society, in April, 1841, which was published, 

 with a figure, in the Society's Journal, January, 1842, under the 

 name of Etheostoma Olmstedi, from its discoverer, Mr. C. H. 

 Olmsted. Personal friendship, as well as the common rules of 

 scientific etiquette, forbid that the scientific name should be thus 

 unceremoniously changed. 



Page 32. Pomotis appendix. The specific name being derived 

 from a generic character, u opercle with an elongated membrane 

 at its angle, 11 will doubtless be hereafter changed. 



Page 61. Uranidea quiescens. This is the Coitus viscosus of 

 Haldeman.
