 compatriot contains '"notices of 105 species, of which 80 are foreigners, and but 25 are 

 found in the waters of our State. Of these 105 s^iecies, 36 are illustrated by figures ; 

 of these 36 illustrations, but 9 accompany species which are found on our coast ; of 

 these 9 figures, 6 are copied froui ' Strack''s Plates,' and 3 from Mitchill's ' Fishes of Neio 

 York;' of the 36 illustrations [small wood-cut figures] contained in this ' History,' not 

 one is drawn from nature."
