38, bg. i23, as well as from bis description of its coloring, I have no 

 hesitation in pronouncing it far more nearly connected with the Siska- 

 witz of Prof. Agassiz, than with any other of its congeners, although 

 the elongated head, the shape of the fins, and especially the lobe-like 

 formation of the caudal, clearly distinguishes it from this species. 



It is to be regretted, however, that in the work of the magnitude and 

 importance of the New York Fauna of the State of New York, the 

 plates should be, as they are, so atrociously executed, that for mat- 

 ters of scientific examination they are all but useless, while as pictorial 

 illustrations they are below contempt.
