FISHES OF THE EAST COAST OF NORTH AMERICA. 41 



from Shaw's work. 60 of the species are illustrated (mostly from drawings by Dr. 

 Akerly, a brother-in-law of Dr. Mitchill) on 6 steel-plates. 



The preceding work appears to have been translated into French by F. J. Meisser, 

 a physician of Brussels, it being apparently the work referred to under the title : " Me- 

 moire sur l'ichthyologie de l'Amerique Septentrionale, par Mitchill, traduction de 

 l'anglais," in Vandermaelen's Dictionnaire des homines des lettres, des savans et des 

 artistes de la Belgique (1837), p. 29. I have never seen the work. 



Memoir on Ichthyology. The Fishes of New York described and arranged. In 



a supplement to the Memoir on the same subject, printed in the New-York Lit- 

 erary and Philosophical Transactions, vol. I, pp. 355-492. By Samuel L. Mitchill. 

 <The American Monthly Magazine and Critical Review, vol. II (New-York : 

 1817-1818), pp. 241-248 (February, 1818); 321-328 (March, 1818). 



In this supplement 42 nominal species are added, of which 31 are given as marine 

 and 11 are enumerated as fresh-water; but two of the latter ("the fresh- water eel," and 

 "long-jawed fresh-water pike," or Belone) are really rather salt- or brackish-water 

 Species.

 Although primarily catalogues of Cuban, and therefore extra-limital, forms, they are 

 almost indispensable to the investigator of the North American species.
