Proc. Zool. Soc. London, VIII. 

 John Richardson.

 Richardson to Hoplegnathus conwayi ; altered by Giinther to Hoplognathus, 

 in which form it is preoccupied. If necessary, may be replaced by Scarodon 

 T. & S.

267. AGASSIZ ( 1841 ) . On the Fossil Fishes Found by Mr. Gardner in the Province 



of Ceard, in the North of Brazil. Edinb. New Philos. Journ., XXX. 

 Louis Agassiz. 

 Cladocyclus Agassiz, XXX, 83; orthotype C. gardneri Ag. (fossil). 

 Rhacolepis Agassiz, XXX, 83; logotype R. buccalis Ag. (fossil). (Misprinted 



Phacolepis.) 

 Calamopleurus Agassiz, XXX, 84; orthotype C. cylindricus Ag. (fossil). This 

 genus belongs to the Elopid^, near to Elops, Rhacolepis and Notelops. See 

 Jordan & Branner, Smithsonian Misc. Coll., 1793-1908 ("Cretaceous Fishes of 

 Ceara, Brazil"). 



268. BONAPARTE (1841). Iconografia dclla fauna italica. 3d part (fascicles 



156-160 dating probably 1841). 

 Carlo Luciano Bonaparte. 

 Pristiurus Bonaparte (1841) ; orthotype Galeus melastomus Raf. (Written 

 Pristiurus in Saggio, p. 121, 1831, and in Fauna Italica. Called Pristidurus 

 in Mem Soc. Sci. Neufchdtel, II, p. 11, 1839), Pristiurus is the form in 

 general use, but Pristidurus may have priority of definition. 

 Syrraxis (Jourdan) Bonaparte, fasc. 160; orthotype Narcine (Syrraxis)indica 

 Henle. Manuscript name based on specimens in the Museum of Lyons "ben 

 ordinato di celebri Prof. Jourdan," identified by Bonaparte as Narcine indica 

 Henle. A synonym of Narcine Henle. 



Agassiz quotes also a genus "Poweria Bonaparte". This is certainly 

 an error. Troschel writes, "Gon. powerle" for Gonostoma. This was doubt- 

 less mistaken for "Gen."

illusfrata. St. Petersburg.
