 This part is a compilation, based on the system of Linne as modified by Gmelin in 

 the restoration of the Amphibia nantes to the Fishes. It is even worse than its pre- 

 decessors in the incorporation of species unknown to Linn; in the genera. The 

 illustrations are almost entirely copied from the works of Bloch and Lacepede, only 

 five or six (according to Cuvier), representing species in the British Museum, being 

 original. Two new generic types (Trachichthys and Stylephnrus) are added, one of 

 which, however (Trachichthys), had been previously described in the Naturalists' 

 Miscellany (v. X). 



Twelve hundred and thirty (1230) nominal species were described. 

 The generic diagnoses, it may be added, were copied (sometimes with very slight 

 modifications) by Dr. S. L. Mitchill in his memoir ("The Fishes of New York, 

 described and arranged") in the "Transactions of the Literary and Philosophical 

 Society of New York."
