Tnis Natural History of Brltisn Fishes 
Was originally publisnecl in five voluiiies, 
'^ut the fishes were not. atrrangeh systematically. 
The five volumes iu this case have been 
t>ouncl up in two, and before binding the 
Tishes were arranged systematically according 
^■-o the order laid down in the advertisement 
the ooiniaencement of volume 1. 
Although it may appear at first sight, 
the original numbers of the plates being 
out of sequenc^, that the work is not complete, 
is really so, and is in more systematic 
order than vmen originally published in 
^ive volumes, wiiich is a considerable 
advantage.
