The Report of Dr. R. H. Wheatland, in behalf of the 

 Committee on Ichthyology, on being read, was accepted. 

 It is as follo\YS, viz : 



During the past year our specimens of North American 

 fishes have been catalogued and numbered, in accordance with 

 the classification of the synopsis of Storer. 



Very considerable additions have been made to the collection, 

 but it is still in a very imperfect state, and it is particularly 

 desirable, at the present time, when their is a prospect of our 

 being able to devote a much larger space to it, that it should be 

 rendered as complete as possible, more especially, in those 

 specimens which illustrate the Ichthyology of our county. 

 Many of the more common species are still wanting, and it is 

 to be hoped that the members of the Society will use their best 

 efforts to supply the deficiencies during the approaching 

 summer. 



As far as possible, the foreign fishes have also been num- 

 bered, but from the want of proper books, many still remain 

 unrecognized, of which quite a number, doubtless, have never 

 been described. 



The following is a list of the Ichthyological specimens belong- 

 ing to the Society : 



Of North American fishes, 263 specimens, embracing 26 

 families, 61 genera, 80 species; of recognized foreign fishes, 

 108 specimens, embracing 42 species ; of unrecognized foreign 

 fishes, 36 specimens, embracing (probably) 20 species.
