Deducting from M. Sauvage's list three species which I 

 consider merely synonyms, and allowing for four others which 

 I believe to figure in my and M. Sauvage's lists under different 

 names, I compute the total number of species known at 

 present from this river to be fifty-one, a number which 

 may be expected to be doubled by future investigations. 

 The fish-fauna of the Nile consists of about ninety species. 



The localities which will be mentioned in this report
