hvilket lUltnk Keiiiliardt senere i sin Atliandliug om de 

 grønlandske Fiske (1838) rettede som en Tryk- eller Skriv- 

 fejl til ,,Ganebnerue". P;«i dette sidste Sted omhandler 

 han atter Grupperingen af denne Slægt, og samler Ai'terne 

 i 3 Grupper eller Underslægter, der dog ikke gives- sær- 

 skilte Benævnelser. under Cuviers Slægtsnavn Clinus. 

 Denne Gruppering, der er baseret udelukkende paa Tand- 

 forholdene. hor vi^nok ogsaa hihelioldes, saafremt man 

 i Virkeligheden tinder det tbrnodent yderligere at inddele 

 denne 8hegt. 



I den første Afdeling sammenstiller Keinh. (i. 1838) 

 fremdeles de -2 Arter Clinus lumpenus (o : Lumpenus fahri- 

 cii). og Cl/nus uiedins; da det derimod havde vist sig, at 

 Clinus aculeatns tillige havde Tænder paa Vomer, hlev 

 denne Art stillet i 2den Gruppe ; den 3die Gruj^pe dannedes 

 endelig af Clinus gracilis, en ny Art, der blot havde 

 Kja'vetænder. men ingen Tænder paa Vomer og l^datin- 

 beneue. 



Udskillelseu af de til Ln/w'peHifs-Gruppen henhørende 

 Arter under særskilt benævnede Slægter er først bleven gjeni- 

 nemfort af Gill. der i sin Catal. over Fiskene paa Nord-Ame- 

 ricas Nordostkyst (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sei. Philad. 1861), og 

 ■ senere i sin ( )versigt over Familien (^if7iae?'tZae (samme Tidsskr. 

 for 1804) henforte de 6 af ham na-vnte Arter fra dette 

 Gebet under ikke mindre t-nd h forskjellige Slægter. Af 

 disse bør dog utvivisomt idetmindste de 2, nemlig Ani- 

 sardiHS og Cenfrohlennius, inddrages, da de Characterer, 

 hvorpaa, de er grundede, maa ansees for a,t være af ude- 

 lukkende specitik Natur. Det samme er Tilfældet med den 

 af Ayres i 1855 opstillede Slægt Lej)tofjimellus, for hvilken 

 Pallas's Blennins anffuillaris fra det Stille Hav er Typen 

 (Proc. Acad. Calif. Nat. Sei. 1855). 



Disse Underslægter ville saaledes efter Ta,ndforholdene 

 kunne charactei'iseres saaledes: 



A. Subg. Lumpenus, Eeinh. 1835 — 36. Tiender i 

 Kjærerne og paa Palafinhenene.

 bergen). 



2. L. medius, Reinh. 1838. (Grønland, Spits- 

 bergen).

vomer), con-ected by Reinhardt in his treatifse on the fishes 

 of Greenland (1838). as a misprint or an error in the 

 manuscript, to •'Ganebuerne" (palatine bones). In this 

 paper the author again discusses the genus, distributing its 

 several species a.mong three grou]5s or sub-genera — not 

 however with a separate nomenclature — under the common 

 generic name of Clinus, given by Cuvier. Tiiis classification , 

 based wholly on the arrangement of the teeth, should 

 doubtless be retained, in the event of further sub-division 

 of the genus proving needful. 



In the first group, or sub-genus. Reinhardt classes 

 together (1838) the two species Clinus lumpenus (Lumpenus 

 'fabricii) and Clinus medius; whereas Clinus aculeatus, 

 since found to be furnished with teeth on the vomer 

 also, is assigned a place in the second group; the 

 third sub-division comprises Clinus gracilis, a new -species, 

 having teeth in the jaws only, none oh the vomer and tlie 

 palatine bones. 



The hrst to arrange the different species of Lumpenus 

 among distinct genera was Gill, who, in his catalogue of 

 tishes occurring on the north-western shores of North 

 America, (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad. 1861), and subse- 

 quently in his synoptical review of the family Stichce- 

 idæ (ibid 1864), refers the 6 species there mentioned - 

 as inhabiting that wide region to no less than 5 different 

 genera. Of these, however, 2 at least, viz. Anisarchus and 

 Centroblennius, should unquestionably be excluded, the cha- 

 racters on which they are based being wholly specific. The 

 same, too, is the case with the genus Leptoguuellus, established 

 by Ayres in 1855, typical form Pallas's Blennius anguilla- 

 ris, inhabiting the P.-icihc Ocean (PrOc. Acad. Calif. Nat. 

 Sci. 1855). 



These sub-genera, based ;^ccordingly on peculiarities 

 connected with the teeth, may be characterised as follows : — 



A. Subg. Lumpenus, Reinh. 1835 — 30. Teeth in 

 jaws and on the palatine bones. 



1. L. fabricii, Reinh. 1835 — 36 (Greenland, Spitz- 

 bergen). 



2. L. medius, Reinh. 1838 (Greenland, Spitz- 

 bergen). 



3. L. anguillaris, (Pall.) 1811 (Western coast of 

 North America). 



B. Subg. Leptoclinus, Gill (1861) 1804. Teeth in 

 jaws, on the palatine bones, and on the vomer. 



I. L. niaculatns, (Fries) 1837 (Greenland, east coast 

 of North America. Spitzbergen, west coast of 

 Northern Europe). 



C. Subg. Leptoblennius, Gill (1800). Teeth in 

 jaws onlg. 



1. L. lampelræjormis , (Walb.) 17U2 (Greenland, 

 Iceland, Spitzbergen, west coast of Northern Europe). 



2. L. nuhihis. (Richards) 1855. (Arctic regions of 

 North America, .Spitzbergen?). 



3. L. serpentinus, (Storer) 1848 — 51 (Eastern shores 

 of North -America).
