XXX. — Account of some Fishes observed du- 
ring Capt. Franklin and Dr Richardson's 
Journey to the Polar Sea. 
{Read ^Uh January 18^4.) 
By Dr John Eichaedson, M. W. S. S^c, 
The following zoological notices were originally drawn 
up, to be inserted in the Appendix to Captain Franklin's 
Narrative of a Journey to the Polar Sea ; but to prevent 
that part of his work from swelling to an undue size, it 
was found advisable to exclude them, together with the 
detailed accounts of all the other species that were not 
deemed to have been previously undescribed. As the fol- 
lowing descriptions, however, were taken from the exami- 
nation of a great many recent specimens, and as they con- 
tain some details which have not hitherto been made pub- 
lic, and relate to species which may not soon come under 
the inspection of a naturalist, they are respectfully submit- 
ted to the Society.
