CORRESPONDENCE. 
FASCIOLA AMERICANA, (Hassall, July, 1891). 
Syn.—F asciola Carnosa. (Am. Vet. Rev., July, 1891.) 
In reviewing- the nomenclature of the clistomidse, 1 find 
that Rudolphi has already described a species from dentex 
vulgaris under the specific title of Carnosum. Consequently, 
according to the rules of nomenclature laid down by the In¬ 
ternational Zoological Congress, 1889, I have changed the 
name to Fasciola Americana.
