I. General Subject. 



-Day ( 5 ) lias published a work on Fish Culture. Fritsch writes a short paper on 

 the so called Fishiug apparatus*! of Lophius piscatorius. Gill ( 2a ) proposes the 

 use of certain new terms such as fusiform, dorsadiform, etc., to express the 

 extension of the body in a definite direction. 1. To direct immediate attention 

 to the principal element of the form; 2. To dissever the general idea from a 

 special one; and 3. To insure conciseness and absence, or at least a minimum, 

 of periphrasis of description. The same author ( 5 ) gives short notes on the 

 habits of Fishes belonging to various orders. Haswell makes a few remarks on 

 the claspers of Heptanchus indicus. Heath describes the effect of cold on Fishes, 

 the observations being made from Cyprinus carpio , etc. Jordan ( 4 ) has identified 

 the majority of the figures of fishes in Catesby's Natural History of Carolina, 

 Florida, and the Bahama Islands. Raveret-Wattel has published an extensive 

 essay on Migratory Fish and notes on Salmon-ladders. Ryder makes remarks on 

 the development of the young of the viviparous minnow (Gambusia patruelis] within 

 the body of the female parent and points out the peculiar difference between 

 the two sexes in the arrangement of the Viscera, etc. Serensen in his paper on 

 the Sound -producing" organs of Fish describes and figures many Teleostean 

 anatomical structures , such as the structure of the dorsal and pectoral fins in 

 various Genera ofSiluridae, Monacanthus, Acanfhurus, Triacanthus and Centriscus, 

 the dorsal and ventral spines of Capros and Gastrosteus, and the swim-bladder 

 in many other fishes, etc., and explains how, when these organs are moved by 

 their muscles, sounds are brought forth. Weber gives a detailed account of an 

 example of hermaphroditism in Gadus morrhua and notes on similar cases in other 

 species of Fish.

 worms on Fresh -Water Fish see Rathbun and Zschokke.
