The categories into which I have divided the fauna of the 

 Magdalena basin are not of equal value nor are the contents of 

 the different regions equally well known. Certainly none of them 

 are exhaustively known. The fishes in the first column are really 

 marine fishes that wander into or live more or less permanently 

 in the estuaries. The "Lower Magdalena" includes the Magda- 

 lena from its mouth to La Dorado and the Cauca to Caceres.
