264 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



In reviewing the Catalogue of Fish Lists, it will be seen that 

 they are, on the whole, by no means poor in quality nor few in 

 number. The fishes, in fact, seem to have been studied with 

 a considerable amount of care, which is no doubt largely 

 due to their direct economic value as a source of food-supply. 

 England, as in the previous catalogues, proves to have been 

 done very much more thoroughly than Scotland or Ireland. As 

 before, too, the counties of Cornwall, Devonshire, Durham, 

 Norfolk, Northumberland, and Yorkshire, are shown to have 

 received the greatest amount of attention. Many others have 

 been done with fair fulness, but the following do not appear at 

 all in the list : — Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, 

 Middlesex, Monmouth, Nottingham, Suffolk, Surrey, Warwick- 

 shire, and Wiltshire. Wales, as usual, proves to have received 

 a very small amount of attention, the only county appearing in 

 the list being Glamorgan. Certain Scottish counties which 

 have received the attention of Messrs. Harvie-Brown and 

 Buckley are represented in the Catalogue by admirable lists, but 

 the rest have been, for the most part, meagrely treated. The 

 Catalogue of Irish Lists is short ; and though it contains one or 

 two good items, is largely made up of antiquated lists. 



The author desires again to ask those who observe omissions 

 in these Catalogues to inform him of them, so that they may be 

 included in the intended separate reprint. 



NOTES AND QUERIES. 



The Centenary Anniversary of Gilbert White.— In the article which 

 appeared under this heading in the June number of ' The Zoologist,' there 

 is a mistake on page 205, which should be corrected. Allusion is there 

 made to the marble bust of Richard Jefferies, "erected to his memory in 

 Winchester Cathedral." This is a slip of the pen for Salisbury Cathedral. 

 The Winchester monument is that of Izaak Walton. — Ed.
