H emp)oy tlie name Evcntosnat lii for the Cypiinoids as a sub-order instead of Fleet ospondyli. Tlie literal 

 meauirig of the latter is woven toyethir verkhrce, and the co-ossification of the anterior vertebrae is a character as 

 true of the siluroids as of the cyprinoids. Neniatognathi and Plectospondyli are by some regarded as orders, and 

 the latter is divisible into 'i sub-orders, \-iz: — Eventognathi., Heterognathi, and Gymnonoti, the first mentioned 

 alone of which is represented in our waters. I therefore employ the names Neniatognathi and Eventognathi as 

 sub-orders of the order Ostariophysi.
