I possess a copy of the following book, but unfortunately I cannot at the moment locate it:
Gaṇapati Sāstrī, T., 1926. The Vishṇusamhitā, edited. (Trivandrum sanskrit Series, 85.) Trivandrum: Government Press. x, 249 pp. Reprinted, (Sri Garib Dass Oriental Series, 98) Delhi: Sri Satguru Publications, 1990. x, 249 pp. I am sure, however, that it is not a Sāmavedic work, and though I have long worked with the Sāmaveda, I do not recollect having come across a collection of sāmans with this title. This is my immediate reaction, but I’ll return to the matter if I come across something relevant.
