Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Supplement to the History of British Fishes, Vol. 2 On publishing this Supplement to the History of British Fishes, I have only respectfully and very sincerely to return my best thanks to those friends and naturalists, who have, either by their private communications or public announcements, supplied the novelties contained herein. These additions to the British Catalogue of Fishes are so many gratifying testimonials of the increasing number of observers, whose attention is directed towards the inhabitants of our seas; and I feel a sincere pleasure in the prospect of the many new subjects, and more correct illustrations, which our Ichthyology is likely to derive from the great interest now taken in this branch of Natural History. To render the pictorial part of this Supplement as useful as its size and character would admit, I have introduced, as vignettes, representations of the bones of the cranium of several well-known fishes, derived from the works of Cuvier, Rosenthall, and others: and should this part of the plan be approved as a worthy mode of occupying a portion of that space usually devoted to lighter subjects, it may, on some future occasion be so enlarged upon as to include an illustration of one cranium in almost all the principal genera. In the present instance, however, not to interfere with the ornamental appearance of these crania, as vignettes, by a repetition of letters or numbers in reference to each particular bone, I have confined the markings to the Perch only, as here introduced, premising, that a little useful perseverance will lead to a knowledge of the analogous bones in other crania.
