PYRENEAN PENINSULA. 
The fresh-water Fish-fauna of Spain and Portugal was almost unknown, 
until F. Steindacher paid some visits to those countries for the purpose 
of exploring the principal rivers, His discoveries are described in 
several papers in the Sitzungsberichte der Akademie Zu Wien. B. du 
Bocage and F. Capello contributed towards the knowledge of the marine 
fishes on the coast of Portugal. (Journ. Science Acad. Lisb.)

Besides these works, numerous descriptions of North American fresh- 
water fishes have been published in the reports of the various U.S. 
Government expeditions, and in North American scientific journals, by 
Storer, Baird, Girard, W. O. Ayres, Cape, Jordan, Brown, Goode, ée. ; 
but a good general, and especially critical, account of the fishes of the 
United States is still a desideratum.
