The species belonging to the second division of the genus Leuciscus of 

 Klein have the dorsal fin placed so far behind the line of the ventrals as to 

 bring it over the space between the ventral and anal fins. 



To this second division belong four British species, the 

 largest of which, the Rudd, or Red-eye, is a very common 

 fish in Europe, as well as in various localities in this coun- 

 try. It is found in the Thames, and other waters near 

 London ; and I have seen some dozens together for sale 

 in Hungerford fish-market. It is found in Oxfordshire
