PISCES. 163 
Catostomns. Tlio fisli named by Mr. Cope {Ptrjchostomus) Terctulm cer- 
vmus is figured by him in Journ. Ac. Nat. Sc. Pliilad. 1868, vi. p. 236. 
Laheo. Peters (Mossamb. Fliissfische) has described tne three species dis- 
tinguished by him : — L. altivelis, p. 43, taf. 8 [this is characterized by fringed 
lips], L. congoro, p. 45, taf. 9, and L. cylindricuSy p. 47, taf. 10. fig. 1. [See 
on the two latter species G until. Pish. vii. pp. 48 & 50.] 
Barbus. Prof. Peters (Mossamb. Plussfische) describes and figures the 
following species : — Laheoharbus zambezeiisis, p. 49, taf. 10. fig. 2 ; B. polu- 
dinosus, p. 51, taf. 11. f. 1 ; B. gibbosiis, p. 52, taf. 11. f. 2 ; B. incrmis, p. 54, 
taf. 11. f. 3 j B. trimaculatus, p. 55, taf. 11. f. 4 j and B, radiatus, p. 56, 
taf. 10. f. 3. 
Barbus kerstenii and B. zanzibaricus, spp. nn., Peters, Monatsb. Ak. Wiss. 
Berlin, 1868, p. 601, from East Africa. 
Barbus yraellsii (Steind.)=j&. guiraonis (Steind.). See the pamphlet of 
this author noticed above (p. 133). [Most probably =i?. caninus.'] 
Mr. F. Day describes four species as new from Kurnool, Proc. Zool. Soc. 
1868, viz. : — Barbus neilli, p. 581 [very closely allied to B. carnaticus], B. 
guentheriy p. 582 [=j5. kolus, Sylces], B. ambassisy p. 683, and B. nashii, 
p. 684. — The same author states that Cirrhinus fasciatus of Jerdon is the 
Barbus mdanampyx of Day, and that B. arulius of .Jerdon is a distinct spe- 
cies. [If this be the fact, it will prove that no reliance whatever can be 
placed on the generic distinctions used by Mr. Jerdon, who will have re- 
ferred two most closely allied species to two genera. However, we must 
first wait for an examination of the typical examples which served for Mr. 
Jerdon ’s notes, before we accept Mr. Day’s determination, which is notin ac- 
cordance with the characters given in Mr. .Jerdon’s descriptions.] 
Buntius {Gapoeta) lepidus and Buntius {Capoeta) puckelliy nn., Day, 1. c. 
pp. 196, 197, from the Bowany Biver and Bangalore. — The same author de- 
scribes Barbus sopborCy p. 198. 
Ceratichthys hyalinus and C. monacus, spp. nn., Cope, Journ. Ac. Nat. Sc. 
Philad. vi. 1868, pp. 226, 227, pi. 23. figs. 1, 2, from the Holston River, Vir- 
ginia. 
Ilyborhynchus. One of the specimens named by Mr. Cope, II. sitperciliosus, 
is figured, 1. c. p. 234, pi. 23. fig. 4. 
Bhinichthys obtusus (Agass.) is figured by Cope >'under the name of Rh. 
lunatusy 1. c. p. 228, pi. 23. fig. 3. 
Bhoxinus hispanicus. Dr. Steindachner states in his pamphlet (see p. 133) 
that this species has only one series of pharyngeal teeth. 
\_Leuciscus.^ Clinosto7mis ajjinis. Notes on this fish by Cope, 1. c. p. 228. — 
The same author gives figures of Ilypsilepis coccogmisy ibid. pi. 23. fig. 6, 
Hypsilepis ardensy fig. 6, and of his Ilypsilepis galacturus, pi. 22. fig. 4 ,* also 
of Bhotogenis tclescopuSy pi. 22. fig. 6, and Bhotogems scabriceps *, fig. 5. As 
now species are described by him : — Ihjbopsis longiaps, p. 231 j Ilijbopsis S 2 )cc- 
truncidusy p. 231, pi. 22. fig. 3 5 Iljbopsis ruhricroceuSy p. 231, pi. 24. fig. 4; 
and Ihjbopsis laceiiosus, p. 232 ; Alburncllus microptet'xyxy p. 233 ; Chrosomus 
oreasy p. 233, pi. 23. fig. 7 : all from South-western Virginia. 
* This is nothing but a Ceratichthys biguttatuSy as I have convinced myseli 
by a renewed examination of typical examples. No character can be disco- 
vered by which a specific distinction is warranted, much less a generic.
