SYSTEMATICALLY ARRANGED. 207 



Before commencing the ichthyological catalogue, I may as well 

 advert to the objection which the author has expressed to the term 

 mammalogy. This term has been recommended by Mr. Swainson, 

 and also, if I mistake not, in the Fenny Cyclopaedia ; and though 

 certainly objectionable in many respects, I used it on a former occa- 

 sion for convenience sake. It would naturally be supposed that 

 the objector would be ready with one free from objections ; but 

 what will the reader think of mastozoology ! Would not the term 

 theriology be admissible ? I think any objection that might be 

 raised would be nullified by its advantages. I shall now, however, 

 proceed to the catalogue, and if my paper is destitute of interest, 

 that certainly cannot be from the dryness of the subjects of which 

 it treats.
