valuable collection of fishes of which there are usually two or more specimens of each species; of these a set of the the duplicates is to be returned named to Kingston Museum. This lot represents 154 entries ^[[(29990 to 30144)]] in the fish register. As a matter of course it contains many species not before in our possession; the determination of them, however, must be deferred for a while.
