ICHTHYOLOGY. 553 



by V. Duben and Koren. (Vid. Hornschuch Archiv, 

 Skandinavischer Beitriige zur Naturgeschichte 1845.) Of 

 the thirteen species five are new; the others are Pohj- 

 prion cernium, Sebastes imperialis, Sternoptix Olfersii, 

 Gadus (Merlanyus] potassoa, Risso, Motel/a argenteola, 

 Mont., Rhombus meyastoma, Donov., Lepadogaster bimacu- 

 latus, Penn., and Cyclopterus minutus, Pall., which the 

 author agrees with Fries in regarding as the young state of 

 Cyclop, lumpus. The new species are given below. 



In the twenty-first Part of the Illustrations of the Zoology 

 of South Africa, by Andrew Smith, which appeared in 1844, 

 five Fish also are figured, viz. Pentaceros Richardsoni, Smith, 

 Sebastes capensis and maculatus, Cuv. Val., Sargus hottentotus 

 and capensis, Smith. The three new ones are given below. 



Of Siebold's Fauna Japonica, the fifth and sixth Parts of 

 the Fishes have appeared in 1844, arranged by Temminck 

 and Schlegel. They contain Fish from the families Spa- 

 roidei, Squamipennes, and Scomberoidei, of which those 

 that are new are noticed below. 



The Ichthyology, in the Histoire naturelle des lies 

 Canaries, par MM. P. Barker, Webb, and Sabin Berthelot, 

 arranged by Valenciennes, was concluded in 1843. Nume- 

 rous Fishes are described as living in the seas which wash 

 those islands, among which are a large proportionate number 

 of new species, and also several interesting new genera. 

 This group of islands affords many Fish in common with 

 Madeira; they appear to connect by corresponding forms 

 the Ichthyological Fauna of South America with that of the 

 Mediterranean, rather than with that of the African coast. 

 Most of the new species, as well as some of those previously 

 instituted, are figured in twenty-six plates, partly on copper 

 and partly on stone. The new species, but especially the 

 new genera, are noticed more particularly below. The only 

 fresh-water fish is an Eel, A. canariensis. 



In Silliman's American Journal (xlvii, p. 55) we have a 

 list of the Fishes of Connecticut, by James Linsley, in which 

 173 species in all are enumerated. There are 72 Acan-
