KLEIN, 1775 37 



Ludwig Statins Miiller of Eriangen, in 1776. This edition in its Supple- 

 ment contains a few new specific names but no new genera, so far as 

 noticed.* 



The reference to "Richter," refers apparently to a work published at 

 Leipzig, in 1754, by J. G. O. Richter, entitled "Ichtltyothcoloi^ie, oder 

 Versuch die Menschen aus Bctrachtun^ dcr Fische cu Dewunderung dis 

 Schopfers zu fiihren." This we have not seen, but quote the title from 

 Bosgoed. The same work appears in Dutch, in 1768, as "Godlcercnde 

 I'ischkunde." 



The names in the "Gesellschaft Schauplatz" are all of doubtful eligi- 

 bilitv. because not adopting the Linneran Code as to species, and possibly 

 because published in an anonymous dictionary. 



Conger Klein, I, 22, 1775; type Mur^ena conger L. "Concer pinna 

 memuranacea" Klein. 

 A synonym of Conger Houttuyn. 

 Enchelyopus Klein, I, 32, 1775; type Triciiiurus lepturus L. "En- 



CUKI.VOl'US CAPITE PRODUCTO SERPENTINO" Klein. 

 A synonym of Trichiurus L., not Enchelyopus Gronow. 

 Brama Kkin, I, 61, 932, 1775; type Cyprinus brama L. "Brama 



PKIMI RADIO PINN.U DORSAI.IS SI.MPLICl" Klein. 

 Brama, if accepted, replaces Auramis Cuvier, and the marine genus now called 

 Brama would take the name of Lepodus Rafinesque. 



Galeus Klein, I, 70, 1775; type Squalus galeus L. "Gai.eus rostri 

 ic.xTKE.MA parte peli.ucida" Klein. 

 Equivalent to Galeorhinus Blainville, 1816= Galeus Cuvier, 1817, not Galeus 

 Valmont, 1768, nor of Rafinesque, 1810. 



Trutta Klein, I, 115, 1775; type Sal.mo trutta L. "Trutta tota 

 argentea" Klein. 

 A synonym of Trutta L. 

 Leuciscus Klein, I, 172, 1775; type Cvprinus leuciscus L. "I-euciscus 

 siPRA 1.INEA lateralis" Klein. 

 Lklxiscus Klein would replace Leuciscus Cuvier, Rafinesque, Agassiz. for 

 the same group. 



Pelamys Klein, I, 176, 1775: tyi)c Sco.mukr sco.MiiRrs L. "Pklamys 

 corpore castigato" Klein, the "makarcl" of Wilhighby. 

 The genus, based on the tunnies and the mackerels, is exactly coterminous 

 with ScoMnKR L. If regarded as eligible, the genus of snakes, Pixamys Daudin, 

 must receive a new name.
