Hogg, the Rev. John., A.M. F.L.S. andCamb. Ph. Soc. : On the Natural His- 

 tory of the Vicinity of Stockton on Tees. Stockton. 8vo, pp. 96, 1 map. 



This work is to form an appendix to the Parochial History of Stockton, 

 by the Rev. John Brewster, now in the press. It is an excellent specimen 

 of the local Flora, Fauna, and Geographica, and printed with very great 

 accuracy in regard to names, synonyms, and references to established works 

 containing descriptive and historical particulars. The use of such local 

 catalogues is three-fold; 1. as contributing towards a more complete and 

 accurate natural history of Britain ; 2. as pointing out to the inhabitants, or 

 to those intending to inhabit particular districts, the climate and the natural 

 productions which they may expect to meet with, and consequently, to a cer- 

 tain extent, the eligibility of the situation for rural and domestic happiness; 

 and 5. as a record by which future naturalists may determine the local 

 changes which have taken place in natural and physical history. 



The catalogue begins with the birds, of which there are no fewer than 

 126 species, arranged according to 

 the system of Cuvier. Of fishes 

 there are 19 species; of insects, 67 of 

 the most remarkable are enumerated ; 

 of fluviatile shells, 20 species ; of 

 marine animals, the Sea Scorpion, or 

 Father Lasher (Cottus ^Scorpius L.) 

 {Jig. 145), and Ray's Toothed Gilt- 

 head (iSparus Raii) {Jig. 146.), both rare species, but the last extremely 



so. The first speci- 

 men of (Sparus Raw 

 found in England was 

 sent to Mr. Ray by 

 his friend, Mr. John- 

 son, a gentleman of 

 Yorkshire, who in- 

 formed him it was 

 found on the sands 

 near the Tees' mouth,
