This little work is one of the rarest of Amer- 

 ican contributions to ichthyology. In it 68 

 nominal species are enumerated, of which 38 

 are described or designated as new. The opus- 

 cule was reprinted, with an introduction and 

 concordance of species, by Dr. T. N. Gill, in 

 1898.

In the introductory remarks, 147 species 

 (and in addition, 19 varieties) are summed up. 

 These are arranged according to Shaw's modi- 

 fication of the Linnsean system. 60 of the spe- 

 cies are illustrated in 6 steel-plates. 



The preceding work appears to have been 

 translated into French by F. J. Meisser, a physi- 

 cian of Brussels, it being apparently the work 

 referred tfo under the title: " M6moire sur 

 1'ichthyologie de I'Am&ique Septentrionale, par 

 Mitchill, traduction de 1'anglais," in Vander- 

 maelen's Dictionnaire des hommes des lettres, 

 des savans et des artistes de la Belgique (1837), 

 p. 29.

In this supplement 42 nominal species are 

 added, of which 31 are given as marine and 11 

 as freshwater; but two of the latter (" the 

 freshwater eel," and " long-jawed fresh-water 

 pike," or Belone) are really rather salt- or 

 brackish-water species.
