  The 
  name 
  Brachyopsis 
  should 
  be 
  retained 
  for 
  this 
  genus, 
  instead 
  of 
  Leptagonus. 
  

   " 
  Leptagonus" 
  deeagonus, 
  lately 
  examined 
  by 
  me 
  in 
  Copenhagen, 
  has 
  the 
  gill 
  mem- 
  

   branes 
  attached 
  to 
  the 
  isthmus 
  and 
  forming 
  a 
  narrow 
  fold 
  across 
  it. 
  It 
  should, 
  there- 
  

   fore, 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  Podothecns, 
  although 
  in 
  some 
  respects 
  approaching 
  Agonus, 
  render- 
  

   ing 
  a 
  reunion 
  of 
  these 
  genera 
  probably 
  necessary.
