98 THE GENERA OF FISHES 



Trygon Adanson in Cuvier, 136; type Raja pastinaca L. 



This name, quoted from Adanson's Manuscript Cours d'Histoire Naturelle, in 

 1772, has been adopted by several authors. Trygon appears also as a new genus 

 (equivalent to T^niura) of Geoffroy St. Hilaire in the Histoire d'Egypte, with 

 the date of 1825. The name is certainly later than Dasybatus of Klein, with the 

 same type, and also later than Dasyatis Rafinesque.

L.

 lent to Curimata Walbaum, 1792.

 mann, type Clupea setirostris Broussonet. It is distinguished from Menidia 

 Browne or Anchoviella Fowler, by the greatly prolonged maxillary.
