to hear of tlieir reaching you safely. I shall be still more glad if 
the two last, notwithstanding their small size, may be of any use 
to you. Larger, I am sorry to say, I have no chance of procuring 
but I can get others, similar to them, of Ardea alba* & Ardea 
Garzetta, also Norfolk specimens ; & I will do so with the greatest 
pleasure, if you wish it.

Rev d - Sir, 
I beg to thank you very sincerely for your most 
kind and friendly letter. I am aware of the existence of the fish 
you describe and you are perfectly correct in considering it a Bream 
and the Bordelieu of Shaw — the name he had from Bloch, who 
calls it also Cyprinus blicca — distinguishing it from the older and 
better known species the C. brama of authors. 
The first notice of this second species of Bream as a British fish 
was made to the Linnean Society in 18*24 by the Rev 1 *- Revett 
Sheppard in the following words — “ There exist in the river Trent 
in the neighbourhood of Newark, two species or varieties of 
Bream. The common one Cyprinus brama is known there by the 
name of Carp Bream, from its yellow colour, and has been taken 
* .Most likely either that in the Miller, or that in the Thurtell collection, 
as stated by Mr. Stevenson (13. Nor/, ii. p. 149).
