We gave a description of this work in Zoolog. Record, 
Yol. ii. p. 164. It is concluded by this tliird part, which con- 
tains 24 Anacanthini, 119 Physostomi, 37 Lophobranchi and 
Plectognathi, 21 Plagiostoma, and 1 Petromyzon; so that the 
entire collection brought home by the naturalists of the expe- 
dition consists of 553 species. The value of the work is less in 
the number of new species (which amounts to about 20 only) 
than in the numerous additions to our knowledge of known 
species. The Recorder has had occasion to carefully examine 
several portions of the work ; and his confidence in the con- 
scientiousness and correctness of Prof. Kner^s determinations 
has been much strengthened during his study. It must also be 
mentioned that Prof. Kner has limited himself to the collection 
made by the expedition, whilst some of his fellow labourers, 
who worked out other classes of animals, have included collec- 
tions which have no reference whatever to the undertaking.
