G. _Spanish Peninsula._--The fresh-water fish fauna of Spain and
Portugal was almost unknown, until F. Steindachner paid some visits to
those countries for the purpose of exploring the principal rivers. His
discoveries are described in several papers in the _Sitzungsberichte
der Akademie zu Wien_. B. du Bocage and F. de B. Capello made
contributions to our knowledge of the marine fishes on the coast of
Portugal (_Jorn. Scienc. Acad. Lisb._).
H. _North America._--1. J. Richardson, _Fauna Bareali-Americana_, part
iii., "Fishes" (Lond., 1836). The species described in this work are
nearly all from the British possessions in the north. 2. Dekay,

_Reports of the U.S. Comm. of Fish and Fisheries_ (5 vols.,
Washington, 1873-1879) and _Reports_ and special publications of the
U.S. Bureau of Fisheries contain valuable information. Numerous
descriptions of North American fresh-water fishes have been published
in the reports of the various U.S. Government expeditions, and in
North American scientific journals, by D. H. Storer, S. F. Baird, C.
Girard, W. O. Ayres, E. D. Cope, D. S. Jordan, G. Brown Goode, &c.

progress). 7. Unsurpassed in activity, as regards the exploration of
the fish fauna of the East Indian archipelago, is P. Bleeker
(1819-1878), a surgeon in the service of the Dutch East Indian
Government, who, from the year 1840, for nearly thirty years, amassed
immense collections of the fishes of the various islands, and
described them in extremely numerous papers, published chiefly in the
journals of the Batavian Society. Soon after his return to Europe
(1860) Bleeker commenced to collect the final results of his labours
in a grand work, illustrated by coloured plates, _Atlas ichthyologique
des Indes Orientales Néerlandaises_ (Amsterd., fol., 1862), the
publication of which was interrupted by the author's death in 1878.

Bocourt, _Mission scientifique au Mexique et dans l'Amérique

naturalist of Havana, devoted many years of study to the fishes of
Cuba. His papers and memoirs are published partly in two periodicals,
issued by himself, under the title of _Memorias sobre la historia
natural de la isla de Cuba_ (from 1851), and _Repertorio
fisico-natural de la isla de Cuba_ (from 1865), partly in North
American scientific journals. And, finally, F. Steindachner and A.
Günther have published many contributions, accompanied by excellent
figures, to our knowledge of the fishes of Central and South America.
