In this table the fifteen additions made in the Addenda are included. 

 Of the additions made in the Addenda, the fishes receive the bulk ; the 

 mammals and reptiles nearly all the others. Nearly all the additions 

 to the old catalogue go to swell the number of rare, extra-limital, 

 occasional, doubtful or extinct species. In the column headed " rare " 

 are not included any species that are ordinarily known as rare to 

 collectors, provided the claim of such a species to a place in the fauna 

 of the State is well established. The table shows at a glance that 

 only about six hundred species of Vertebrates properly belong to our 

 fauna, and probably less than five hundred of these are abundant or 



common.
