Thus, while the Gadoids have one sharply marked type of arterial arrangement, the Clupeoids another, and the Salmonoids a third, in the disposition of tbe efferent vessels the Lophobranchii resemble the first, the Ophidiidse the second, and the Scombridae the last,-a most unnatural coupling of the families. It does not appear, therefore, that the facts revealed by the present inquiry can be applied with any probability of success to the interpretation of the affinities of the family and larger groups of Teleostei.
