A FINE SEA BOAT.— It is nutorionsly a fact that every yacht

 best boats at her length. Ii you have not seen her since she has

Those Haed Kamhs.— We hold ichthyol- 

 ogiata iu some measure to blame for the hard 

 names it has pleased them to bestow ou the 

 objects of their st idy. The practice, we be- 

 lieve, is mainly due to Cuvier. In the rage 

 for words of Greek or Latiu origin, which 

 was so curious a feature of the great Revolu- 

 tion, it was ralker a merit than not that a 

 term, especially a sci ntitic term, should have 

 a classical or semi-classical derivation. Cu- 

 vier followed the prevailing fashion, and 

 hence extraordinary compounds, which 

 scarcely any grammarian would have coun- 

 tenanced, were introduced by him into this 

 science, and Ghetod/moifim, Scombtroides, L<:p- 

 luibraneh :>. and Vydostomes seem to have is- 

 sued glibly from French mou hs in a way 

 that ours find impossible. As a nomencla- 

 turist, Cuvier was immeasurable inferior to 

 Litinfciis, who was neatly always careful to 

 Continue, if practicable, an ancient name, 

 and would rather misapply an old appelation 

 to a new discovery than invent for it ODe of 

 his own composition. Yet Cuvier's names, 

 for the most parr, stand, and always must 

 stand, despite the difficulty of pron uincing 

 them j and his successors haye continued to 

 tread in his footsteps, till icluhyological no- 

 menelature has become, what it certainly is, 

 an iut.cile'Rble jargon — a dialect har lly to be 

 uttered by an articulately speaking man — a 

 language that is forbaMea.^ The tiptatator.
