related, the one, C. gulosus (C. and V.), occurring chiefly 

 west of the Alleghanies, and in the Great Lakes ; the other, 

 V. viridis (C. and V.) , occurring in the South Atlantic States. 



The other species referred to Chamobryttus, or "Calliurus," 

 seem to me to form a natural genus for which the name Apo- 

 motis Raf., proposed for those species of Lepomis which 

 have a very short opercular flap, must be retained. These 

 have the tongue and pterygoids toothless, the mouth smaller, 

 the supernumerary bone small but present, the spines low* 

 and the appearance more like that of Lepomis. Type Ich- 

 thelis cyanellus Raf., = Bryttus mineopas Cope. The name 

 Glossoplites was proposed by me for typical Chamobryttus, 

 under the erroneous impression that Chamobryttus melanops 

 Cope (Ichthelis Raf.), was the type of Chamobryttus, instead 

 of Calliurus melanops Girard. Glossoplites is therefore to 

 be suppressed. 



The synonymy of the supposed two species of Chamobryt- 

 tus will probably be as follows : —
