"A remarkable work. It perhaps surpasses 

 all other ichthyological publications in incon- 

 gruities between the definitions of groups and 

 the contents thereof, and it is difficult to con- 

 ceive how some could have originated. The 

 definitions themselves are sufficiently clear, and 

 their practical application to forms would not 

 appear to be difficult: the ailthor however seems 

 to have practically ignored his definitions of 

 groups when once framed, and to have proceeded, 

 as some more modern naturalists have done, by 

 successive approximations of other forms to the 

 types of his definitions, and without checking 

 the results by subsequent comparison with the 

 latter." — T. N. Gill, Smithson. Misc. Colls., 

 1872 (1874), 11, no. 247, p. 29. For a contem- 

 porary review of the above work of Klein, see
