Reihe von Merkmalen unterscheiden. Wenngleich es nicht möglich erscheint, eine 

 scharfe Grenze zwischen beiden Formen zu ziehen, so möchte Verf. doch für 

 diese Bildungsstufe, die die primitivste postembryonale Form des Craniotenkörpers 

 bildet, den Namen „Proammocoetes^^ vorschlagen. Po 11.

 flying fish Gastropelecus^ and the common flying fish Exocettis. In: 

 Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Vol. 12, Nr. 72, S. 544—548, 1 PL, 1913. 



Gastropdecus is shown to be truly a "flying fish", the pectoral fin although 

 not large has a well developed pectoral muscle and a smaller elevator. A large 

 corrugated bony keel lies in the median plane of the body and is spread out 

 like a ventral fan. This plate affords attachment to the muscles and is a striking 

 feature of the skeleton. The pectoral muscles weigh y^ of the total weight of 

 the fish. The author gives comparisons with Exocetus showing that the latter 

 does not fly but glides while Gasiropelecus actually flaps its fins.

 female the minute pelvic fins lie behind the anus and in front of the separate 

 genital and urinary openings. Forster Cooper.
