Fauna, and can be regarded as a whole, only inasmuch as 

 that the Fish were collected on one voyage. They belong 

 to various regions of the earth. The figures occupy 20 

 lithographic plates. 



Of Siebold's Flora Japonica, the second, third, and fourth 

 Parts have appeared, containing the Fishes arranged b\ 

 Temminck and Schlegel. These Parts include Fishes from 

 the Families of the Percidae, Scleroparei, Scirenidse, and 

 some Sparidse. Among a large number of new Fishes, 

 many previously described are also figured, and our know- 

 ledge of these animals is enlarged by numerous interesting- 

 accounts and accurate descriptions. The lithographic figures 

 are to be especially praised, from the circumstance that 

 most of them have been finished from recent specimens, 

 which with respect to colour is so highly important. Several 

 new genera are instituted, but the specific names in them 

 are not given. 



Of the Zoology of New York, or the New York Fauna, 

 by James De Kay (Albany, 1842, 4), the fourth Volume 

 contains the Fishes. In it 440 species are named as 

 belonging to the United States; these are arranged in 156 

 genera and 32 families. 294 species are found in the 

 State of New York and the adjacent waters; they are 

 accurately described and figured in 72 lithographic plates.
