This memoir contains descriptions of, or notes on, 26 fresh- 
water species collected by Prof. M. Wagner on the Isthmus of 
Panama. Seventeen had been characterized as new in the 
^ Sitzgungsberichten ^ of the same Academy for 1863 (pp. 220- 
230) and are now described and figured. The memoir is fol- 
lowed by another from the pen of Prof. Wagner (see below p. 176) .

A notice of merely local interest. Of the fishes caught on one 
occasion, 99 per cent, were Aspius alburnus.

The number of fishes knoAvn to inhabit the coasts and fresh 
waters of Spitzbergen is twenty-three, twelve of which are 
found in Northern Europe, and nearly all occur in Greenland. 
The author shows that the fish-fauna of the western and south- 
western coasts differs considerably from that of the northern 
and eastern, the former bearing a Boreal Atlantic and the latter a 
truly Arctic character. The fish-fauna of Arctic North Ame- 
rica is composed of fom’teen species, ten or eleven of which are 
found also in Spitzbergen. Gadus carbonarius. Lota molvay 
and Salmo salary said to belong to this fauna^ have not 
been found by the author, and probably do not occur in Spitz- 
bergen. 
The author has added to most of the species detailed accounts 
of their synonymy, specific characters, and geographical distri- 
bution, based on original researches ; and therefore we shall 
refer to them severally in the systematic part of this Record.

1866.
