32 FISHES. 



Fisico-natural de la Isla de Cuba " (from 1865), partly in 

 Nortli American scientific journals. And, finally, F. Stein- 

 dachner has published many contributions, accompanied by 

 excellent figures, to our knowledge of the Fishes of Central 

 and South America. 



M. — New Zealand. 



1. F. W. Hutton and J. Hector, " Fishes of ISTew Zealand." 

 (Wellingt. 1872, 8vo.) 



N. — Arctic Regions. 



1. C. Ziitken, "A revised Catalogue of the Fishes of 

 Greenland," in " Manual of the Natural History, G-eology, and 

 Physics of Greenland." (Lond. 1875, 8vo.) Although only a 

 nominal list, this catalogue is useful, as it contains references 

 to all the principal works in which Arctic fishes have been 

 described. The fishes of Spitzbergen were examined by A. J. 

 Malmgren (1865). 



III. — Anatomical Works. 



The number of authors who worked on the anatomy of 

 fishes is almost as great as that of faunists ; and we should 

 go beyond the limits of the present work if we mentioned more 

 than the most prominent and successful. M. H. RathJce, J. 

 Midler, J. Hyrtl, and H. Stannius left scarcely any organ un- 

 examined, and their researches had a direct bearing either on 

 the relation of the class of fishes to the other vertebrates, 

 or on the systematic arrangement of the fishes themselves. 

 E. E. von Baer, F. de Filippi, C. Vogt, W. His, W. K. ParTcer, 

 and F. M. Balfour worked at their embryology; A. Kolliher 

 and G. Pouchct at their histology. The osteology was specially 

 treated by G. Bakkcr, F. C. Roscntlial, L. Agassiz, and C. 

 Gegenbaur ; the nervous system by Gottschc, Philipeaux, 

 Stannius, L. de Sanctis, L. Stieda, Baitdelot and Miclucho- 

 Maclay ; the organ of hearing by E. H. Weber, C. Hasse, and 

 G. Retzius. The electric fishes were examined by E. Geoffroy,
