 "In the present work, 6843 species are regarded as well established and described; 

 whilst 1682 others are doubtful and referred to by name only. Assuming, then, that 

 about one-half of the latter will be ultimately admitted into the system, and that, 

 since the publication of the volume of this work, about 1000 species have been 

 described elsewhere, we may put the total number of fishes known at present as about 

 9000." Gthr. v. 8, p. vi. 



* A "Systematic synopsis of the families of the Acanthopterygian fishes" (x pp.) is given as an ap-
