302 THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART III 



Note. The most of the many new genera, indicated by American authors 

 from 1860 to 1875, occur in the proceedings of scientific societies in Phila- 

 delphia, New York and Boston, and especially in those of the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. The bound volumes of these proceedings 

 were issued in the year subsequent to the reading of the papers, as for 

 example that of 1861 in 1862. But separate copies of most of these papers 

 were issued in the date year. In this record, the papers are credited to the 

 date year. In the few cases in which questions of priority are involved, 

 I have tried to secure the exact dates concerned.
