2 The accurate and laborious coadjutor of Prof, von Siebold, 

 in the second part of a recently published compendium of Com- 

 parative Anatomy, adopting in part my Nomenclature of the 

 Vertebral Elements, corrects this word, and writes " haemato- 



apophyses." Dr. Stannius, it seems, would abrogate the useful 

 license of the grammarian's syncope and apocope: but how 

 many current scJentitic terms must be expanded into sesquipe- 

 dalian longitude, if such " purism " should prevail ! See ' Lehr- 

 buch der Vergleichenden Anatomie,' von V. Sichold und Stan- 

 nius, Zweiter Thcil, p. 5.

4 The dermal spines which sustain the dorsal and anal fins 

 of fishes are called respectively "cpiaux" and "cataaux" by 

 Geotfroy.

 with those of John Midler.
