  The 
  original 
  basis 
  of 
  Clupea 
  thrissa 
  L. 
  was 
  a 
  lisli 
  brought 
  by 
  Lagerstrom 
  from 
  

   China 
  and 
  described 
  by 
  Linnams's 
  pupil, 
  Odhcl, 
  in 
  tho 
  Amoen. 
  Acad 
  em., 
  V, 
  251, 
  as 
  

   Clupea 
  thryza. 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  Dorosoma. 
  To 
  this 
  latter 
  genus 
  belongs 
  also 
  tho 
  

   Clupea 
  thrissa 
  of 
  Osbeck. 
  In 
  the 
  synonymy 
  of 
  Clupea 
  thrissa 
  of 
  the 
  tenth 
  edition 
  of 
  the 
  

   Systema 
  Natura;, 
  several 
  references 
  to 
  Opisthonema 
  are 
  included, 
  wbilo 
  the 
  Clupea 
  thrissa, 
  

   described 
  in 
  the 
  twelfth 
  edition 
  as 
  being 
  received 
  from 
  Dr. 
  Garden, 
  is 
  Dorosoma 
  cepc- 
  

   dianum. 
  Tho 
  Clupea 
  thrissa 
  of 
  Broussonet 
  and 
  of 
  most 
  later 
  authors 
  is 
  the 
  Opisthonema, 
  

   but 
  the 
  Linmean 
  name 
  must 
  go 
  with 
  the 
  original 
  intention 
  of 
  its 
  author.
