Description

Excerpt: "The scope of the present work is to give in a concise form an account of the principal facts relating to the structure, classification, and life-history of Fishes.

It is intended to meet the requirements of those who are desirous of studying the elements of Ichthyology; to serve as a book of reference to zoologists generally; and, finally, to supply those who, like travellers, have frequent opportunities of observing fishes, with a ready means of obtaining information.

The article on "Ichthyology," prepared by the late Sir J.

Richardson for the eighth edition of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica," is the only publication which has hitherto partly satisfied such requirements; and when I undertook, some years ago, to revise, or rather rewrite that article for the new edition of that work, it occurred to me that I might at the same time prepare a Handbook of Ichthyology, whilst reserving for the article an abstract so condensed as to be adapted for the wants of the general reader."
