Class REPTILIA. 

 No list sent in. 



Class PISCES. 



No typical series sent in ; but Jonathan Couch, Esq. has furnished the 

 ollowing list of British Fish, which he considers may be useful to local 

 Museums, as they can all be procured at small expense. 



Blue Shark, Carcharias glaucus, or else the Toper, Galerius vidgaris. 



Picked Dog, as an example of such as have spines on the back. 



Nursehound, Scyllium Catulus, as one of the Ground Sharks. 



Porbeagle, as one of the class that bears a ridge on the side near the tail. 



The Common Skate, or the Thornback ; and for examples of variations in 

 ;he teeth, as being conspicuous objects of distinction among Sharks and Rays, 

 :he jaws should be exhibited separately. A complete series of them from all 

 ;he British species of these two subfamilies would be very instructive, and 

 night be easily obtained. 



As aberrant genera, the Monk, Torpedo, and Sting-ray. 



The Perch, or Bass. 



Smooth Serranus, for those with a single dorsal fin and serrated gill-covers. 



The greater Weaver.

 be procured, and more easily examined than the smaller species.
