In the Revista do Museo Páulista iv. 355 tlie ñame Ber- 

 giella is proposed for the Pimelodus icestermanni Eeinhardt. 

 The genus was dedicated to Dr. Carlos Berg of the Museo 

 Xacional de Buenos Aires. We have recently learned that the 

 name Bergiella is preoccupied and the ñame Bergiaria is 

 proposed for this fish.
