Australian fishes. 



A signal service has been done for ichthyologists by Mr. William 

 Macleay, in his catalogue of Australian fishes. It appears therefrom 

 that 1,133 nominal species (exclusive of many doubtless overlooked by 

 him) are found in the waters that surround Australia and the neigh- 

 boring islands, or which traverse its interior. This compares not un- 

 favorably with the fish-faunas of other regions, and is not much inferior 

 to those of/ the United States and the higher north, wherein about 

 1,500 species have been discovered. The proportions between the fresh- 

 water and marine forms are very ditferent, however, for the two hemi- 

 spheres. The "N^orth xVmerican streams and lakes swarm with species,
