The author enumerates names of ninety-one species. The list 
is based on the observations of Richardson, Storer, and other 
naturalists, verified in most cases by an examination of specimens 
eitlier from the district referred to or from ^closely contiguous 
portions of the same faunal region. The genera are shortly 
characterized, and systematic tables of the families are added to 
facilitate the determination of species.

The author adds some other instances of the identity of the 
fish-faunas of the Upper Nile and of the West African rivers 
to those previously known, viz. Lates niloticus, Clarotes laticeps) 
and Citharinus latus, which fishes had been known hitherto from 
the Nile only. Two new species are described.
