BONAPAKTK, 1837 187 



This sumptuous and tincly illustrated work was issued in separate fasci- 

 cles from 1832 to 1842. The fishes seem to begin with fascicle VI in 1837. 

 The last arc in fascicle 160, probably issued in 1841. There is no paging, and 

 exact dates, except for a few fascicles, are inaccessible to me. I there- 

 fore divide the work into three parts. 1837, 1840 and 1841. Fascicles 156 to 

 160 arc subsequent to Swainson's Xalural History. 1839, from which they 

 quote. So far as I know, no question of nomenclature hinges on these uncer- 

 tain dates. Troschel (.trcliiv. Xaturg.) gives the date 1884 for fascicles 

 ■•LicfcrunRcn" VI to XI. 1837 for X\'I to XX, 1838 for XXVI to XXIII. 

 1839 for XXIV to XXVI. and 1840 for XXVII; hut these "deliveries" .scctu 

 not to correspond to the fascicles.
