j Steindaciiner has made extensive contributions to the La Plata, 
Amazon, and other South American River Fish Faunas in the memoir 
already referred to. Denk. Ak. Wien, xli. Abth. i. pp. 20-60, part of the

Steindachner has produced an extensive monograph on the Fish 
^ Fauna of the Magdalena river, which appears to have been un worked 
scientifically since the publication of Humboldt’s “ Recueil d'Observa- 
tions,” &c., in 1811 & 1833. In 1876 & 1877 a collection of 200 fishes was 
received by the author, and furnished the materials for the present 
memoir. They were referable to 45 species, of which 30 are exclusively 
freshwater forms, the remaining 15 being marine and procured from the 
brackish waters of the Cienaga at the mouth of the Magdalena. Denk.

In another memoir the same author gives accounts of several collec- 
tions of freshwater fishes from the following South American localities : 
1. From the Orinoco at Ciudad Bolivar. 
2. From the river Mamoui, near Chepo, a tributary of the Bayano, 
which falls into that river only fifteen miles from its mouth.

; 8vo, pp. 369, pis.), refers to various fresh- water fishes of the Orinoco and 
its tributaries, of which such as were new were described by Peters in 
SB. Berl. Ak. 1877. He figures the ‘ Oaribe ’ fish, Serrasalmo irritans, Pet,,

and Stenarckus sachsi, Pet., p. 279. One of the author’s chief objects in 
visiting Venezuela was to study the Gymnotus in its natural haunts. See
