ZOOLOGICAL LITEllATURE. 
Morrnyrus paudradiatuSf sp. n., Steindacliner, Verli. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 
1800, p. 706, taf. 17, from Angola. ^ * 
GALAXIDiE, ^ 
Dr. Guntheii (1. c.) describes as new G. olidtis (p. 209), G. hreJffUi 
(p. 211), G.inmctatus (p. 212), and G. hrevi}nnnis (p. 216). 
Salmonid^e. 
The account given by Dr. Gunther of this family is more de- 
tailed than, and differs in several respects from, that of the re- 
mainder of his work. It commences with introductory general 
remarks on the distinction of the species of the genus Salmo^ and 
on certain more or less obscure points in their life-history. In 
consequence of the vague descriptions of the greater part of the 
species it was impossible to give their distinctive characters ; so 
that the locality will be the best guide to recognize them*. 
Therefore the species of this genus are geographically arranged. 
First group Salmonina, 
1. Sahno (Artedi). 
a. Sahnones (Nilss.), with 62 species, of which the following are described 
as new i—S, mici'ohpis, from Hungary (p, 86), S. hravhypoma (p. 87), S. 
gallivensis (p. 88), S. orcadensis (p. 91), S. stomachicus (p. 96), and S. myri- 
pinnis (p. 90), all from Great Britain and Ireland ; S. mistops (p. 105), S. har-^ 
dinii (p. 107), S. venememis (p. 110), and S. ptolyostcus (p. Ill), from Scan- 
dinavia. 
b. Scdvelitii (Nilss.), with 36 species, one of which is new: S, lordii 
(p. 148), from the Skaget Biver, 
2. Oncorhynchus (Suckley), with 13 species, 
3. JBrachymystax, g. n., established for S. coregonoides (Pall.). 
4. Liidotrutta, g. n., established for S. machenzii (Rich.). 
6. Plecoglossus (Schleg.), with 1 species. 
6. Osmerus (Cuv.), with 3 species. 
7. Thaleichthys (Girard), T. padjicus (Rich.). 
8. Jlypomesus (Gill), H. olidus (Pall.). 
9. Mallotus (Guv.), with 1 species. 
10. JRetropmna (Gill), with 1 species. 
11. Corcgonua (Artedi), with 46 species, the following of which are now : — ■ 
C. lloydii (p. 174), C. lajyponicus (p. 181), C. gradlis (p. 182), C. maxillaris 
(p. 189), and C. humilis (p. 190), from Scandinavia j C. richardsonii (p. 186), 
from Arctic North America. 
12. Thymallus (Cuv.), with 8 species. 
13. Argentina (Artedi), with 4 species. 
14. Microstoma (Cuv.), with 2 species. 
* Quite against his intention, the author omitted to mention in the pre- 
face that, by the kindness of Prof, Peters, he was enabled to examine that 
portion of Pallas’s specimens which is preserved in the Berlin Museum. Some 
of these specimens are evidently types to the descriptions in the ‘ Zoographia 
Rosso-Asiatica,’ whilst others cannot have been used in the description of the 
species the name of which is atlached to them.
