Catfish Made to Change Names.

Some catfish have been nosing
around in the mud of the rivers TO the
north of Rio Janeiro for 81 years
without knowing their right name.
They supposed their name was "Stein-
dachneria," under which they had been
baptized by Carl II. Eigenmann and
Rosa Smith Eigenmann in 1888. But
G. Brown Goode has given this name
to some other fish belonging to the
aristocratic gadoid family OF Macru-
rlds. Confusion and correspondence
ensued until Prof. David Starr Jordan
insisted that the catfish change their
names. Therefore their sponsors have
rebaptized them Standardization"

Eminent lay and clerical delegates
