REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLII : 
A. Zawadzki’s Fauna der Galizisch-bukowinischen Wirbelthiere, 
(p. 166 to 182), enumerates forty-four species of Fishes, the number of 
which might, perhaps, be still farther increased, by continued inquiry. 
The distance from the sea, says the author, prevents our being rich in 
Migratory Fish, and yet we can point out many which come into our 
rivers from the Baltic and the Black Sea. Among the forty-four Fishes, 
are three species of Petromyzon, three of Acipenser, six of Salmo, one 
of Esox, twenty Cyprini, three of Cohitis, one Silurus, three Percoidce, 
one Coitus, one Gasterosteus, one Gadus, and one Mur<xna. 
H. Freyer in his ‘‘ Fauna der in Krain bekannten Wirbelthiere,” has, 
in all, only thirty-two Fishes, namely, two Percoida, one Coitus, fifteen 
Cyprini, three Cohitis, one Esox, one Silurus, four Salmones, one 
Gadus, two Murcenai {acutirostris and latirostris, Risso), one Acipenser, 
and one Petromyzon. 
The Faune Beige, 1’^® Partie, Indication methodique des 
Maniiniferes, Oiseaux, Reptiles, et Poissons, observes jiisqu’ici 
en Belgique, par Edm. de Selys Longchamps, Liege, 1842, 
contains the class of Fishes, from p. 183 to 245. 
He divides it into two sections, — Fresh-water Fishes and Sea Fishes. 
There are fifty-three Fresh -water Fishes in Belgium, forty-three of 
which live only in fresh-water; six in fresh- water, but which go in 
winter to the mouths of the rivers ; and four live in the sea, but migrate 
into the rivers in spring or summer. They are divided as follows accord- 
ing to their genera : — One Acipenser, one Plexwonectes, one Coitus, one 
Acerina, one Perea, one Gadus, thirty-one Cyprinoidee, two Alosce, four 
Salmones, one Esox, two Gasterostei, three Anguillce, three Petromy- 
zones, one Am7noccetes. The family of the Cypinnoids is treated with 
peculiar preference, and in a manner that forms a monograph of them. 
Several new species are described ; and figures in lithography are given 
of Leuciscus dolabratiis, Holandre, L. Selysii, Heckel, L. jeses, Jurine, 
L. rutiloides, Selys, L. ^rntilus, Abramis HeeJeelii, Selys, and Cyprinus 
striatus, Holandre. Forty-one species of Sea Fishes are mentioned, 
thirty of which pass up the Scheldt as far as Antwerp : of the rest none 
have yet been observed there. These are, — two Rajoe, one Squatina, 
one Spmax, one Scylliimi, one Carchaynas, one Mustelus, one Chimoera, 
one Syng^iathus, one Hippocampus, five Pleuronectes, one Mullus, two 
Triglce, one Coitus, one Aspidophorus, one Gohius, one Cyclopterus, one 
Zoarces, two Calliony^ni, six GadAdce, three Clupeacece, two Sahnones, 
one Belone, one Trachinus, one Scomber, one Ammodytes, and one 
Murama. 
The new fishes of the Caspian Sea are figured on four plates, in the 
Fauna Caspio-Caucasia, von E. Eichwald, Petersburg, 1841. They have
