The present Catalogue is founded on those published 

 ty Sir Henry Ellis in the British Bibliographer in 1811, 

 the late Mr. Pickering's Bibliotheca Piscatoria in 1836, 

 and that in the Appendix to the New York edition of 

 Walton and Cotton's Angler in 1847. I have corrected 

 and greatly augmented them all, omitting many works 

 under the titles of British Sportsman, Field Sports, Country 

 G-entleman's Companion, &c. &c. which only treat incident- 

 ally on Angling. In their place I have given, for the first 

 time, a complete List of the English Writers on Ichthyology. 

 Those who wish to know what further has been written in 

 Magazines, Reviews, the Transactions of Learned Societies, 

 Sfc. fyc. may consult with advantage Poolers Index to Perio- 

 dical Literature, Neiv York, 1853, and Agassiz and Strick- 

 lantfs Bibliographia Zoologise et Geologise, 4 vols. 8vo, 

 London, Ray Society, 1848-54.
