The Bermudas. 
G. Browne-Goode has compiled a Catalogue of the Fishes of the 
Bermuda Islands. Bull. U. S, Nat. Mus. No, 5, pp. 1-82, Washington : 
1876. The marine fauna is much more tropical in character than the 
land fauna and flora, the majority of the fishes being those of the 
West Indian region. Four marine species and one inhabiting brackish 
water are at present known to be peculiar to the group. They were 
described by Goode, Gunther, and Matthew Jones in 1874. An account 
of the fisheries is given, and personal observations accompany many 
of the species. The number catalogued is 75, but an appendix contains 
important additions. [The Recorder may remark that in a subsequent 
collection he has observed a great many species not in this list.]
