[Continued from vol. x. p. 34.] Fish of the Scomberoid family are numerous in the Austra- lian seas, and many came under the observation of Parkinson, Solander, and the Forsters on Cook's first two voyages. Such of them as were sketched by Parkinson and George Forster are commented on in the ' Histoire des Poissons,' and Schneider's quotations from J. R. Forster's notes are also occasionally criticized in that work; but Solander's ' Pisces Australiae' contains several descriptions of ^ Scombri/ which Cuvier has not found it possible to refer with certainty to any species known to him. Indeed the strong family likeness which prevails among the Scomberoidece renders the detection * Coloured figures of some of the rare species described in this commu- nication are just published by Dr. Richardson in a work intitled * Icones Pisciim.'
