 and Ammoc&tes are new. 



The book appears to be very carefully got up, and brought out under good 

 auspices, and is indispensable for the determination of N. American Fish. 



In the Figures and Descriptions of New and Rare Ani- 

 mals and Plants collected by Th. Kotschy in Syria and the 

 Western Taurus, edited by Fenzl, Heckel, and Redtenbacher, 

 the first Part of the text (Stuttgard, 1843) includes the 

 whole of the Fish by Jacob Heckel ; and the first Part of 

 the Atlas contains six Plates, which, according to the 

 statement in the text, are to be about doubled. 57 species 

 of Fishes were collected by Kotschy in the Orontes and 

 Euphrates, of which 50 species are given as new. It 

 appears that in Syria, as well as throughout the southern 

 half of Asia, the Cyprini predominate among the fresh- 

 water Fish. The Salmon is not met with at all.
