NEWTON ON BIEDS IN GREENLAND. 115 



36 species should attention be particularly directed — how much 

 further in the direction of the Pole any of them may go it is of 

 course impossible to forecast. The principal features by which 

 each may be distinguished have been briefly noticed by me, and, 

 I trust, in a way that may lead to an easy and correct determina- 

 tion even by those observers who are not professed naturalists.

VII — A Revised Catalogue of the Fishes of Greenland. 

 By Dr. Chr. Lutken, University Museum, Copenhagen. 

 1875..^ 



Obs. — The only general account of the Fishes of Greenland 

 published since the time of Fabricius is that of the late Pro- 

 fessor J. Reinhardt (K. D. Vid. Selsk. Skr. VII., 1838); and the 

 following list must still be regarded as provisional and open 

 to corrections. Several species have only been indicated, not 

 described, and must be regarded as doubtful until the revision of 

 the Ichthyology of Greenland, in preparation by the writer, is 

 finished. For further particulars the papers of the late Professor 

 Kroyer in " Naturhistorisk Tidsskrift," Series I. and II., and 

 Ser. III., Vol. I., and the Altases of the " Voyage en Islande et 

 au Greenland," and the " Voyage en Scandinavie, en Laponie, 

 &c.," par Gaimard, should especially be consulted. 



[The species marked with an asterisk (*) are well represented 

 in British collections, or can be obtained from dealers. With 

 respect to them see the " Instructions for collecting Fishes," issued 

 with this '' Manual " for the Expedition. — Editor.]
