[As indicated in the title of the ‘‘ Genera piscium” (v. 3), Artedi admitted into the system 242 nominal species 
under 52 genera, but in this number are included the Cetaceans (14 species representing 7 genera), which were | 
regarded as constituting an order of fishes named Plagiuri.}

[A poor compilation, like Gmelin’s, in which the various previously described species were introduced with- 
out a critical study into the system, and described in foot-notes in connection with the Artedian species, but 
combined under the Linnean genera. The nominal species (and many are only nominal), excluding the ceta- 
ceans, are thus raised from 228 to about 965, without counting the species enumerated under the new genera of 
authors appended to the volume. The compilation has some yalue, not only on account of the original descrip- 
tions of species copied from previous authors, but because of the reproduction of the descriptions of the new 
genera introduced by various authors into the system. It is also of interest to the student of American species 
by reason of the incorporation therein, under specific names, of anonymous American species described by 
Schoepf.]
