4. Notes on the Fishes, Batrachia and Reptiles of the 
Lake of Tiberias.

(Published by permission of the Trustees of the Indian Museum.) 
was not part of the plan of my visit to Palestine to 
collect vertebrates of any kind and only a few specimens were 
obtained incidentally ; but it will be convenient to commence 
this series by considering the aquatic vertebrates of the lake, 
although the papers will be devoted mainly to the inverte- 
brates, about which there will be more that is strictly original 
to be said. 
I. FISHES. 
(a) AN ANALYSIS OF THE FisH-FaunNa. 
The following list is compiled for the most part from well- 
known works, among which I may mention in particular Gin- 
enger’s The Fishes of the Nile (1907) and Catalon of the Fresh- 
water Fishes of Africa (1909-10).!_ The two last works in par- 
ticular have been of the greatest use in settling the somewhat 
complicated synonomy of genera and species, although they 
refer only to African fish. I have added to this compilation a 
few notes on species actually observed and have analyzed the 
pccareunion! distribution of the fish in some detail, leaving all 
discussion of origins for a later paper.
