It may be noted that Quoy and Gaimard and Cuvier only 

 give the specific name '•'■lisse " in French, Guerin-Meneville 

 being the first to give the the Latin laevi gains, so that to him 

 the name of the species must be attributed. Milne-Edwards 

 in 1840 refers to the part of the " Iconographie " here in 

 question, thus showing that that work antedates his own.
