C. II. & R. S. Eigenmann, Am. Nat. xxii, pp. 647-649, remark on the 
modifications of the air-bladder in the American Siluroids. They find 
that Diplomystes differs from all other Cat-fishes in having a well- 
developed maxillary bone bearing a band of teeth and forming the sides 
of the jaw. The following American families are characterized : — Buno-
