FISHES OF THE EAST COAST OF NORTH AMERICA. 43 



The catalogue is a repetition of the uarnes (without descriptions or remarks) of the 

 author's '' Natural History of the Fishes of Massachusetts." 



This compilation was also criticised (hy Dr. D. H. Storer) in 1837 in "An Exam- 

 ination of the 'Catalogue of the Marine and Fresh- water Fishes of Massachusetts, - " by 

 J. V. C Smith, M. D.," contained in Professor Hitchcock's " Report on the Geology, 

 Mineralogy, &c, of Massachusetts. By D. Humphreys Storer, M. D." ^Boston Jour- 

 nal of Natural History, . . . vol. I, pp. 347-365, pi. viii (May, 1836).

Humphreys Storer, M. D. -^Boston Journal of Natural History, . . ., vol. II, 1839, 



pp. 289-558, pi. vi-viii. 

 Descriptions are given of 107 noniinal species, 91 of which arc salt- or brackish- 

 water, and 16 fresh-water; in the concluding remarks, 9 additional undeterminate 

 .species are indicated as probable inhabitants of the Massachusetts waters.

 half-title, — Fishes of Massachusetts, — pp. 1-202, pi. 1-3. 



The report ou the fishes is the same as that published in the " Boston Journal of 

 Natural' History," but (1) an entirely different introduction is added, (2) the supple- 

 mentary observations ou " Carchariaa obscurus" (B. J., Ill, 558) are omitted, and (3) 

 supplementary observations are added (pp. 405-409) ou several species. 



The plates are apparently printed from the same lithographic stones.

739 nominal species from all North America (including the West Indies) are de- 

 scribed. The descriptions, however, are mostly inaptly compiled and insufficient.
