 In the introductorj-- remarks, 147 species 

 (and in addition, 19 varieties) are summed up. 

 These are arranged according to Shaw's modi- 

 fication of the LinxLEean S5"Stem. 60 of the spe- 

 cies are illustrated in 6 steel-plates. 



The preceding work appears to have been 

 translated into I'Yench by F. J. Aleisser, a pl^'si- 

 cian of Brussels, it being apparently the work 

 referred to under the title: " M^moire sur 

 I'ichthyologie de TAm^rique Septeutrionale, par 

 Mitchill, traduction de Tauglais." in A'ander- 

 maelen's Dictionnaire des hommes des lettres, 

 des savans et des artistes de la Belgique (1S37),

In this supplement 42 nominal species are 

 added, of which 31 are given as marine and 11 

 as freshwater; but two of the latter (" the 

 freshwater eel," and " long-jawed fresh-water 

 pike," or Belone) are really rather salt- or 

 brackish-water species.
