  In 
  glancing 
  over 
  the 
  various 
  genera 
  referable 
  to 
  the 
  subfamilies 
  rec- 
  

   ognized 
  in 
  this 
  revision, 
  their 
  distribution 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  characteristic. 
  

  

  The 
  subfamily 
  Atherininae 
  contains 
  three 
  genera 
  occurring 
  in 
  the 
  

   European 
  region, 
  the 
  Jiledilerranean 
  and 
  Caspian 
  Seas 
  and 
  possibly 
  

   in 
  nearby 
  groups 
  of 
  islands, 
  and 
  the 
  southern 
  Australian 
  region. 
  I 
  

   have 
  had 
  no 
  material 
  from 
  the 
  Canary 
  Islands 
  or 
  from 
  the 
  coastal 
  

   regions 
  of 
  Africa, 
  where 
  it 
  may 
  occur. 
  

  

  The 
  subfamily 
  Taeniomembrasinae 
  contains 
  eight 
  known 
  genera 
  

   both 
  salt 
  and 
  fresh 
  water, 
  mostly 
  of 
  tropical 
  and 
  subtropical 
  distribu- 
  

   tion. 
  They 
  are

  in 
  Cuba 
  and 
  

   in 
  the 
  Australian 
  region. 
  

  

  The 
  subfamily 
  Tropidostethinae 
  contains 
  marine 
  species 
  in 
  three 
  

   known 
  genera, 
  all 
  of 
  which 
  have
