each species, in the later portion of the paper.

1861-62. Notes on the described species of Holconoti found on the western coast of North America.

The paper is chiefly a list of synonyms, to which the author adds another, giving as his excuse that certain speci- 
mens had been so labeled and that doubtless other specimens similarly labeled had been sent to other museums. 
Hysterocarpus traski and Sargosomus fluviatilis (given as a synonym) are recorded (p. 130) from the Sacramento 
region. Both are now identified as Hysterocarpus traskii.

collections made by the United States Exploring Expedition under the command of Capt. C. 
Wilkes, with recent additions and comparisons with eastern types. American Journal of Science 
and Arts, 1855, p. 71-99 and p. 215-231. 
The author makes an extensive study of the genera of suckers and minnows. He noted only two of his species, 
Catostomus occidentalis and Ptychocheilus major, in the Sacramento-San Joaquin basin, and both of these he 
described as new. Catostomus occidentalis, however, had but a few weeks previously been described under the 
same name by Ayres. Ptychocheilus major (p. 229) is the present P. grandis. Agassiz’s specimens were collected 
by F. G. Cary, jr. 
Ayres, W. O. 
1854a. Daily Placer Times and Transcript, May 30, 1854. Five new species are described, all of 
them collected by Dr. Ayres in the San Francisco markets. The paper is reviewed by Dr. Jordan 
in Proceedings of the U. 8S. National Museum for 1880, p. 325-327.

In this volume appear a number of descriptions of fishes submitted by Dr. Ayres at various times. He had 
already deseribed four of these species in the Daily Placer Times and Transcript, but lists them in the Academy 
Proceedings as if they were new, and to one, Leuciscus gracilis, he gives a new name, Gila grandis. The work is 
based on his own collections and spesimens of trout collected by Dr. Winslow.
