PREFACE. This Catalogue contains a description of aJl the species of Fish in the Collection of the British Museum, and of the species which are known to exist in other Museums, but which are desiderata in the National Collection, and therefore most desirable to be procured. Most of tiie new and more interesting species have been figured. Descriptions of the skeleton of many of the specimens have been added. Dr. Giinther gives the following, observations as to the method followed in its formation > — " This volume of the Catal(^;ae contains the greater portion of Cuvier's Percoides, Sciainoides, Sparoides, and Mcenides, wfth many other genera which, I believe, ought to be asso- ciated with them. There is no ichthyologist of the present day, who, looking at the great number of new forms discovered since Cuvier's period, would not think it advisable to subdivide some of the families adopted in the ' Regne Animal,' and subsequently in the * Histoire Naturelle des Poissons ' (as indeed was suggested by Cuvier him- self), and to employ a part only of the characters assigned by him to the different families. Further, when genera and even species are known, in which the absence or presence of vomerine teeth is not constant, tlus character can no longer stand as distinctive of two large families like Cuvier's Percoides and Scuenoides. The same is the case with the character of a smooth or serrated praeopercular edge. Instead of those characters has been substituted that of the relative development of the dorsal a;nd anal fins. Thus, several portions of the Percoides of Cuvier have been separated, and form, together with some of his Scicenoides and Sparoides, and with the MfBiiides, families of themselves. " This Catalogue comprises aU. the species, descriptions of which have been published in works accessible to me. The number of known species having been considerably increased in the last thirty years, and the descriptions of the new species being scattert,d throu'ifb a 2 IV PREFACE. a great many Jouraals, Voyages, and Reports, such a general syn- opsis as is offered in the pi-esent Catalogue will meet a real want in Ichthyology. In confirmation of this, we need only compare the result of this volume with the number of species contained in the corresponding parts of the ' Histoire NatureUe des Poissons' by Cuvier and Valenciennes, the last general ichthyological work. There we find 777 species, 92 of which are described twice or thrice under different names* ; 154 of the remaining 685 species are very doubtful, generally from insufiicient description, and mostly esta- blished by Cuvier himself. The present Catalogue contains 1177 species, 917 of which are considered as properly distinguished, the remainder being merely enumerated. Thus we have — Total number of species in Cuv. & Val 777 Total number of species in this Catalogue 1177 Species apparently weU characterized in Cuv. & Val 531 Species apparently well characterized in this Catalogue . . 917 " The Collection of the British Museum, together with its Library, have enabled me to introduce original diagnoses of most of the species, and to compile the synonymy and re\'ise that stated by Cuvier, thus raising this work above the point of a mere compilation. The Collection contains many typical specimens, as there have been em- bodied into it, besides other minor collections, — " 1. The Collection of Gronov, purchased with his MS. descrip- tions. " 2. Fishes of India, collected by General Hardwicke. " 3. The entire Collection of British Fishes, by Mr. '^''illiam YarreU. "4. The Collection of the Fishes of the Frith of Forth, and Scottish Rivers, by Dr. Pamell. "5. The Collection of Chinese Fishes, made by Mr. John Reevo and his son John Russell Reeve, described by Sir John Richardson, and the drawings of them taken from living or fresh specimens. * " Cuvier was ongelukkig in het scheppen van nieuwe soortbcjialingen. Zijn groot ichthyologisch werk is vol van dubbele of meer voudige besclirijvingen eener zelfde soort, die naar vcrschillen van zeer ondcrgcschikte waarde, afliankelijk van geslacht, leeftijd en klimaat, als zoovele verschillende species plaats nauien." — Bleekei, Naiuur/i. Tijdschr. Nederl. hid. i. ISf)!, p. 344. '• 6. The Collection of the Royal Niival Hospital of Hasla". 7. The Collection of Fishes of the Red 8ea, described jy, and procured from Dr. Riippell. " 8. The Collection ot Fishes of Japan, described by Prof. Schlegel, and received from the Lcydcn Museum. "9. The Collection of Fishes of Ambojoia,. described by Dr. Bleekcr, and presented by liim to a charitable institution in Hollani. " 10. Fishes from the Cape, presented by Sir Andrew Snith, M.D. "11. The Collection of Freshwater Fishes of India, collected by Dr. GriiRth, described by Dr. Macclelland, and presented by the Hon. East India Company (mostly Cyprinoids). "12. The Fishes of the Seas of Madeira and the Canary Islands, described and presented by the Rev. R. T. Lowe. " 13. A Collection of the skulls and skeletons of German Fishes, made by Dr. A. Giinther. " By the kindness of the late Dr. Horsfield, the types of the species of Indian Fishes described by Dr. Cantor have been examined at the Museum of the Hon. East India Company. " WTiercver I have not had an opportunity of examining the species, and have been obliged to borrow the characters for a diagnosis from another description, I have added the authority. There remain, however, species which are either insufficiently described, or founded on characters so slight that it is doubtful whether they will stand as species, — or which are established from figures not executed by, or under the inspection of, naturalists : these are mentioned in notes, without a description, and with the synonymy only. Whoever has gone through the labour of examining such descriptions, of making the best of them, and of determining fishes by them, wiU know the amount of time fruitlessly spent, and wiU understand how to appreciate the more recent accounts of Bleeker, which combine with the distinctness of a diagnosis the accuracy of a description. '* To conclude, I add some explanatory remarks on my way of taking the measurements of specimens, of counting the scales, &c. : — " 1. The heigJU of the body is always its greatest depth. " 2. The letKjth of the head is the distance between the end of the snout and the posterior extremity of the hony operculum. The lenyth of the snout is the distance between the end of the snout and the vertical from the anterior margin of the eye. " 3. The total length is the diatance between the end of the snout and the extremity of the caudal fin, when stretched out. " 4. The last dorsal and anal ray is, generally, bifid to the base : it is counted as one, because only one intemeural and interhaemal spine corresponds to it. ** 5. L. lat. gives the numbei: of pierced scales constituting the lateral line jfrom the humeral arch to the root of the caudal fin, i. e. the number of transverse series of scales covering the body between the points mentioned. The scales of the lateral line are often smaller or larger, or irregular, and not congruent with the transverse series ; in these cases I have counted the transverse series. ** 6. L. transv. gives the number of scales in a series, which runs fi:x)m the origin of the dorsal fin obliquely downwards to the median line of the abdomen, crossing the lateral line. It indicates the number of longitudinal series of scales between the origin of the dorsal fin and the lateral line, and between this and the abdomen. Sometimes the transverse line has such an oblique direction that the number of its scales would be greater than that of the longitudinal series : in this case I count the latter. — The numbers of the lateral and transverse lines are of spedjic value. "7. The statement of the size of the eye, relative to the length of the head and its parts, is to be applied cautiously, this organ being comparatively much larger in young specimens than in mature ones. Statements taken from mature specimens of different species, of course have every right to be received into the diagnosis. " 8. In the descriptions of the sJcehton the terminology given by Prof. Owen has been used. " 9. In the statement of the length of the vertebral column, the centrum only of the last caudal vertebra is included. " The Plates referred to, and executed by Mr. Ford, will be pub- lished as a separate volume." JOHN EDWAItD GRAY. British Museum, May 5, 1859. INDEX OF THE WORKS QUOTED IN THIS VOLUME. Sec. IV. a.
