2. On the Classification of the Fishes o£ the Suborder 

 Plectogaathi ; with Notes and Descriptions of new 

 Species from Specimens in the British Mnsenm Collec- 

 tion. By C. Tate Eegan, B.A.' 



[Received September 26, 1902.] 

 (Plates XXIY. & XXV.- and Text-figm^es 56-59.) 



Part I.~CLASSIFICATI0K. 



In the systematic accoiuit which follows are embodied the 

 results of a study of the Plectognathous fishes, and especially of 

 their osteology, which I have made. The numerous characters 

 of importance which have hitherto been overlooked or misunder- 

 stood by ichthyologists will serve as an apology for the present 

 paper. My sincere thanks are due to Mr. Boulenger for criticism 

 and suggestions, which his wide experience has made invaluable. 



The Plectognathi are here treated of as a distinct suborder, as
