 which are Hypochteris linearifolia and Daucus serratus, the latter very- 

 remarkable from its fruit ; the third species, Veronica brevistyla is

Skandinaviens Fishar. Nos. 1 to 6. 4to. Stockholm, 1836 to 1840. 



The sixth part of this excellent work on the Fishes of Scandi- 

 navia, with coloured figures of the species, has lately been received 

 in this country. The text of the first five parts was supplied by 

 B. F. Fries and C. U. Ekstrom, but the lamented death of M. Fries 

 interfered for a time with the continuation of the work. 



Under a new arrangement Professor C. J. Sundevall takes the 

 place of M. Fries, and the sixth part has been put forth with addi- 

 tional claims to our praise. In the former parts the whole of the 

 text was given in the Swedish language, but with the sixth part 

 descriptions in Latin are also added, which will be continued in the 

 future parts, and we have no doubt the authors will find their ac- 

 count in thus rendering their work more generally useful. 



Six coloured plates are included in each part ; the fishes are most 

 correctly drawn on stone by Mr. W. Wright, an English artist re- 

 siding at Stockholm, and all are beautifully as well as faithfully 

 coloured. This work is calculated to be particularly serviceable to 

 the Ichthyologist, as it will contain excellent figures of all the 

 Scandinavian fishes known to Linnaeus ; while its value to the En- 

 glish naturalist may be inferred from the fact, that of the 47 co- 

 loured figures contained in the 36 plates, 44 are faithful represen- 

 tations of fishes belonging to the British islands. 



The six parts, with six coloured plates to each, contain 140 pages 

 of letter-press in the Swedish language, with 16 pages of descrip- 

 tions in Latin ; there are besides, 44 pages of letter-press and three 

 extra uncoloured plates, devoted to the description and illustration 

 of nets and other instruments of capture, with the modes of employ- 

 ing them. 



Two parts of this work are now promised every twelve months. 

 Nos. 7 and 8 are to appear in the course of the year 1841.
