Sahnon, and the Sprat, is amply compensated by the in- 
sertion of the Toothed Gilt-head, the Opah, and Saury 
Pike; and thzt the Starry Ray Salvelian Gharr ; or 
tl)e Trumpet Fish, and variegated Sole, will certainly be 
admitted as interesting equivalents for the common Skate 
and the Herring. 
The works that have hitherto appeared professedly on the 
subject of British Ichthyology arc very few. Among the 
principal of those may be mentioned the leones Piscium of 
Albin, an inconsiderable work, but one of remote date ; the 
Catalogues of Ray, and Piscium Anglicorumo? the same 
author; the Ichthyological Observations to be found in 
the Miscellaneous Works of Dale, and Borlase; a few de- 
tached papers in the Transactions of the Royal Society ; 
that curious production, the Complete Angler of old 
Walton ; and the third volume of Mr. Pennant’s British 
Zoology. It may be superfluous to add, that neither 
of those are on the same plan as the present illustration. 
The following systematic arrangement of the British 
Fishes included in this work will serve more fully to ex- 
plain its nature and contents:
