Francis Hamilton [formerly Buchanan]. 

 (Often quoted as Francis Hamilton-Buchanan.) 



Callichrous Hamilton, 149; type Silurus bimaculatus Bloch. 



Synonym of Ompok Lacepede. 

 Cynoglossus Hamilton, 365 ; type Cynoglossus lingua Hamilton. 



Monotypic. 

 Bola Hamilton, 368 ; type Bola coitor Hamilton. 



As restricted by Jordan. 

 Coius Hamilton, 369; type Coius cobojus Hamilton (Perca scandens 

 Daldorf). 



As here restricted by us. 



The first species named, Coius vacti Hamilton, is Lates colonorum. The 

 genus Coius is grossly unnatural and is best served by relegation to synonymy. 



Hamilton observes : "The Cobojus by the natives is considered as the prototype 

 of their genus 'Coi' from which the name Coius is derived." 



Equivalent to Anabas Cuvier. 



Chanda Hamilton, 370; type Chanda ruconius Hamilton. 



The first unquestioned species named. It is a species of Leiognathus Lace- 

 pede. The others named belong to Ambassis Cuvier. 



* "AcANTHiOTUS Goldfuss" quotcd by Agassiz (Nomenclator) is merely a mis- 

 print for ACANTHONOTUS. 



t We are indebted to Mr. John Smallwood for the record of the genera of 

 Hamilton.
