Additional Catalogue of Fishes. 



597 



POSTSCRIPT. 



Since the Catalogue of Fishes on page 553 was printed, I have received from 

 Dr. Smith, a corrected and enlarged list; and I take the liberty, without con- 

 sulting the Government,^ insert it here: presuming that they would be unwilling 

 to have so much additional information omitted. It is but justice to Dr. Smith 

 to say, that the Catalogue already printed was prepared a year or two since ; 

 and that he has continued since that time to study our fishes with great dili- 

 gence. As several changes of names appear in the following list, L have 

 thought it best to give it Entire ; althou-h this renders some repetition unavoi- 

 dable. I give it likewise in the precise frrm.verbatim el pene lteralim,m whicn it 

 was sent : and I would here take occasion to observe, that an adherence to 

 this rule, so far as possible, is the reason why there is so much of diversity 

 in the manner of printing the several catalogues in this part of the Keport.
