On the Classification of the Fishes of the Suborder Plectognathi ; with Notes and Descriptions of new Species from Specimens in the British Museum Collection. By C. T a t e R e g an , B.A.1 [Received September 26, 1902.] (Plates X X IV . & X X V .2 and Text-figures 56-59.) P art I.-CLASSIFICATION. In the systematic account which follows are embodied the results of a study of the Plectognathous fishes, and especially of their osteology, which I have made. The numerous characters of importance which have hitherto been overlooked or misunderstood by ichthyologists will serve as an apology for the present paper. My sincere thanks are due to Mr. Boulenger for criticism and suggestions, which his wide experience has made invaluable. The Plectognathi are here treated of as a distinct suborder, as 1 Communicated by G. A. B o t t l e n g e e , V.P.Z.S. 2 For explanation of the Plates, see p. 303. |
