ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS 



1817. 



91. CUVIER (1817). Regne Animal. Ed. 1. 



Myliobatis (Dumeril) Cuvier, 137; logotype Raja aquila L. As originally pro- 

 posed Myliobatis Dumeril contained the same species as Aetobatus of Blain- 

 ville (1916). A different type was assigned to the two by Miiller & Henle 

 (1838), who adopted both names, assigning an unwonted type to Blainville's 

 genus. In strictness, Myliobatis should be regarded as a synonym of Aeto- 

 batus and with Raja aquila as the type of both, while Raja narinari 

 should stand as Stoasodon Cantor. 



1819. 



103. RAFINESQUE (1819). Prodrome, etc. 



Lepomis. The names Lepidopomus and Lepiopomus have been produced by puristic 

 emendations of this word. Other revisions of Rafinesque's "telescoped" 

 Greek terms were proposed in 1878, as Myxostoma for Moxostoma, 



HOPLADELUS for QpLADELUS, IcHTH^LURUS for ICTALURUS, IcHTHYOBUS 



for IcTiOBUS, Pelodichthys for Pilodictis, etc. 



1829. 



136B. BANCROFT (1829). Sea Devil, etc. 



Manta Bancroft, 444; orthotype M. American^ Bancroft = Raia birostris 



Walbaum. 



1831. 

 146A. CUVIER & VALENCIENNES (1831). Histoire Naturelle des Poissons, 



VIII. 

 Pelamys Cuvier & Valenciennes, 149; orthotype Scomber sarda L. A synonym of 



Sarda Cuv.

1837. 

 217A. MULLER & HENLE (1837). Ueher die Gattungen der Plagiostomen. 

 Arch. Naturg., III. 



Johannes Muller; Frederick Gustav Jakob Henle. 

 Mr. A. R. McCulloch calls my attention to this paper, overlooked by 

 me, in which the names Galeocerdo, Rhynchobatus. Pristiophorus, 

 Stegostoma appear. 



The name Trygonorrhina was first used by Miiller & Henle (Mag. Nat. 

 Hist. 2, II, 90) and spelled with the double "r" as above. 

 Galeocerdo Miiller & Henle, 308; orthotype G. arcticus M. & H., not G. tigrinus 



as later given. See p. 192, Genera of Fishes, II. 

 Page 190, No. 217. The name Gymnura appears not in the paper quoted, the 

 date of which should be 1838, but in 217A, p. 400. 



1838. 



217A. MULLER & HENLE (1838). 'Mr. McCulloch informs me that a second 

 article by Miiller & Henle, dated Dec. 12, 1837, printed January, 1838, bearing 

 the same title as No. 217 of our series, contains three additional genera : 



Pristiurus Miiller & Henle, 34; orthotype Galeus melastomus Raf. This ante- 

 dates Bonaparte's use of the same term (1841). 



Leptocharias Miiller & Henle, 36; orthotype Tri^nodon smithi Gray.
