BIBLIOGRAPHY

Subjoined is a synopsis of the great standard works ofdescriptive ichthyology, whichwill give information as to the extent, price,etc.,of theworks in question, and also some idea respecting the classifications adopted hytheir authors. The information

may

be consideredasa responseto inquiries often

made

respectingsuch subjects.

The workof Cuvier and Valencienneswas never completed, and.as will be per- ceived from the enumerationof contents,included only the Acanthopterygian and Physostome Teleosts,andincidentallythe Amioidswhose relationswere not recog- nizedbyValenciennes. Cuvier only contributed the introduction and monographs of familiesto thefirsttenvolumes,hisdeathhavingtaken place in the year1S32.

Valenciennes onlyisresponsible fortherest of the work.

The workof Dumeril

may

be considered as a complement to that of Cuvier and Valenciennes. The death of the author has arrested the further progress of the work.

The

work

of Dr. Giinther is the only complete repertory of the species of fishes published, and, fromitscheapness, themostavailable; it is alsosubsequenttoboth the preceding,andtherefore inacertaindegree supersedes them.

No

generalindex has been publishedyet,but oneispromisedinconnection with an appendixbringing the subjectuptodate, ifcircumstances permit.

In order, further,togive some idea of the progress of Ichthyology,thetitles are givenofallthecompilationsprofessingtodescribethespecies offishes

known

atthe periodsof their respective publication. These compilations are valuable,however, onlyto the historian of Ichthyology,and are worse than useless to anyexcept an expertinthescience.

As indicatedinthetitleofthe"GeneraPiscium" (v. 3), Artediadmitted intothe system 242 nominal species under52 genera,but inthis

number

are included the Cetaceans,which were regarded as constituting an order offishes

named

Plagiuri

:

these being eliminated (14speciesrepresenting7 genera),the

number

isreducedto 228speciesand 45 genera,

tothese,however,

may

be added 13 othergenera indi- cated by him,

A

remarkable work. It perhaps surpassesallotherichthyologicalpublicationsin incongruitiesbetweenthe definitions ofgroupsandthe conteutsthereof, and itisdif- ficult to conceive

how

somecould have originated. The definitions themselves are sufficientlyclear, andtheir practicalapplicationtoformswouldnot appeartobe dif- ficult: theauthorhoweverseemstohavepracticallyignored his definitions ofgroups

when

once framed,and to have proceeded, as some more

modern

naturalists have done, bysuccessiveapproximationsofotherformstothe typesofhis definitions,and without checking the results

by

subsequent comparison with the latter. Judging from the characterof hisvariousworks, his analytical powers appeartohave been tolerablyfair, but those of synthesis very defective; this defect, an overwhelming exclusivenessof attention to the special subject or ideaforthe

moment

undercon- sideration,and a neglect to verify the results afterwards by comparison of all the elements,vitiated his entirework: in addition,he appearsto havelaboredunderthe disadvantageofan extremelylimited autoptical acquaintance with naturalobjects, a certaiu stolidityand inaptitudeforapplyingeventhat littleknowledgeto the inter- pretation of figuresanddescriptions,*and an unboundedtrustin the reliabilityand knowledgeof others

—

^{except Linne\ The stoliditywas not} sufficientlydiluted with unintelligible rhetoric tobeentitledprofundity.

His classification isa strange one. Inthefirstplace,hedistributesthefishes (in- cluding therewith the cetaceans) into primary groups distinguished (I) by lungs (Cete),or (II) bygills (a) concealed or (h)apparent from the exterior. The true fishesloith concealedpillswere then arranged accordingto the (1) position (lateral or inferior) ofthebranchialapertures,and(2) the larger sub-division bythe presenceor absenceof (lateral) fins, andfinally(3) bythe

number

of branchial apertures. The

fishes withexternallyvisible gillsweredistributed into general groups distinguished bypositive characters,andtheremainingleft inone

marked

bynegativecharacters,

—

thatis,intogroups "notable" forsomecharacterorother(as_{to (1),}general form;

(2),snout; _(3),eyes; _(4),armature; (5),breastor head; (G), volubility of body),

* For example, heoften failed lo consider that in symmetrical fishesthe lateral finswore double, or presentonbothsides.

30

andthen succeeded the residuuminwhich noverysalientcharactersweredeveloped, and whose heterogeneous contents were classified bythe

number

of the fins. But while such was the case theoretically, practically^itwas quite otherwise, andfancy urged the approximation ^{to the} typesof hisgroupsofformsonaccountofsupposed resemblances and in forgetfulness of the characters, and which, at another time>

underthe influence ofotherideas,he had referredelsewhere. The nominal species thus scattered, in the several cases, were,however,severally derived from different sources.

A

fewexamples need only be given in demonstration ofthe truthof these criti- cisms. The EelsandLoaches(Cobitidae),havingthebranchialfissuresvery narrow, werereferred to the Fishes with concealedgills,butseveral species (e. g. Cobitidae, 3sp.)reappearin the other section underthe genus Enehelyopus,

—

^the author, over- lookingthe characterofthe branchial apertures, having happened to be struck

by

the resemblanceofsuchformsasweredepicted

by

other authors tocertain speciesfor

which hehadmoreespeciallyframedthegenus: inlikemanner,specieswere dupli- catedunderthe genera Enehelyopus and Callarias,Enehelyopusand Leuciscus,and in fact,almost everyothergenuswith numerous species contained somethathad been referred elsewhere. In cases like Mastaccembelus, Psalisostomus, and Solenostomus, distinguished

—

one, bythe projection of the lowerjaw; the second

by

that ofthe upper^; and the third

by

the tubularsnout,itmightbesupposed asaliency of char- acterexistedwhich wouldpreventgrosslyerroneousreferences,butithasnotdetained our author from referring to

them

species entirelyopposed in character. Another

mode

ofprocedureisillustrated bythereference offormstothe group distinguished bythe "eyes." Thiswasoriginallysuggested

by

the Heterosomatadistinguishedby the peculiarity ofthe twoeyes onthe same side, butour author has referred to the same(distinguished

by

the eyes) two combinationsof species (Rhombotides=Chseto- dontidae_pp. and Platiglossus,related to Julis) because,although havingnodistinct- ivecharacterwhateverintheeyes,heevidentlyfancied a resemblance between one (Rhombotides)and Rhombus(Pleuronectidae),andthe other (Platiglossus) andSolea.

Thefollowing abstract, selected from hiswork (Miss, v, p.00), will give a fuller idea of hissystem. Theincongruityof hisgenera preventsacomparison withmodern types, exceptinafewcases.

This edition isrecognized byLinne astheninth,andsaid to have been edited

by

Gronovius,and to be the same as the sixth,withvery fewadditions respecting the Birds and Fishes. ("Per Gronovium. Paucissima de Avibus, Piscibus, idem

cum

6.") Thereis,however, aspecialaddresstothe reader ("Lectori_")fromtheauthor, inwhich he acknowledges to havefollowed the system introduced byGronovius in the"

And

on comparison, it isfound that the sequenceofthe genera is altogether differentfromthat in the sixth edition,and essentially similar totheonefollowed byGronovius: itdiffersinthe following respects^:

—

the sequence of orders is reversed,and the Plaguriaddedasthe firstorder; the Chondropterygii different; thesequence inthe generaof orders(III) Branchiostegiand (V) Malacop- terygii reversed; andthefollowing additionalgeneraincorporated, viz:

In this edition, the binomial system, previously employed

by him

in the

work

entitled

Museum

Tessinianum (1753), was extended in its application to all the kingdoms of nature; the Artedian classification of fishes, adopted in the earlier editions,wassupersededbythefamiliarLinuaean system,andthecetaceanswere for thefirsttime eliminated from theclass offishesand groupedwiththeviviparousquad- rupedsunderthe

new

class

name

Mammalia.

A

modificationof farlessmeritwasthe separation oftheChondropterygiiofArtedi (exclusiveofthe genusAcipenser) andtheircombination,under the distinctiveterm AmphibiaNantes,with theReptiles. The Fishesthusrestrictedweredistributed into groups distinguishedbythesupposedstructure ofthe branchiae (Branchiostegi),the wantof fins(Apodes), or theirpresence under the throat (Jugulares), at thethorax (Thoracici), orbehind (Abdominales).
