between Salmo marsilii and Salmo salvelinus (Verb, zool.-bot. 
Gesell. Wien^ 1865, pp. 199-202). He is inclined to concur in 
this opinion, as artificial attempts to cross these two fishes have 
been successful, the hybrids being a year old at the time of the 
publication of Prof. Kner^s most interesting paper. However, 
we must remind the author that, if the Mai-Forelle ” be a 
hybrid, S. lacmtris of the Lake of Constance must be regarded 
in the same light, both having been considered identical by all 
writers. The Lake of Constance fish, then, would be a hybrid 
between S, trutta (Rapp) or 5. rappii (m.) and S. umbla. But 
these two fish have the pyloric appendages considerably fewer 
than S. lacustris^, which circumstance renders the hybrid 
nature of the latter a very doubtful point.

Salmo dcntcx (Ileck.) is identified with S. fario by Steindachner, Sitzgs- 
ber. Ak. Wiss. Wien, lii. 1865, Nov. 30. The Recorder has come to a dif- 
ferent conclusion from an examination of Dalmatian specimens. 
Salmo alpintis. A young example, 76 millim. long, found in a river of 
northern Spitsbergen, has been determined by Hr. Malmgren as S. alpinus ; 
it proves, at all events, the existence of Charr in so high a latitude. (Efvers.

Mr. Gill can only recognize with certainty seven species of 
ClupeincR as inhabitants of the eastern coast of North America. 
The species are enumerated, with a part of their synonymy.
