■ M. PoEY has revised the synonymy of the Cuban species of 
Serranus described by Cuvier and Valenciennes (Repertor. 
Fisico-nat. Cub. 1865^ pp. 195-203). His remarks refer to the 
following ^ecies : — ^ j

Mr. Gill proposes the generic name Trisotropis for Serranus guttatus (Bl.), 
cardinalis, undulosus, dimidiatus, &c., to which group a new species,^ Trisotropis 
reticulatus, from Barbadoes^ would belong. He also proposes to make S. 
ouatalibi the type of a genus, Enneacentrus, and S. guttatus (Poey) the type of 
a ^Q\ms,^Petrometo 2 ion. Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc. Philad. 1865, p. 104. " “ •
