cured, however, some good specimens in the lower limestone on the south-
west coast of Gozo. It is the 8, hoffmanni of Dr. Wright's monograph.

The following list is given on the authority of Dr.
Gavina Gulia, and as enumerated in his Tatdaatwn Ichthyo-
logie Melitensis (Valetta, 1861). Whilst making no pretence
to completeness it may be safely accepted as a truthful
report on the general ichthyology of the locahty, inasmuch
as Dr. Gulia has devoted many years to the especial study
of the fishes of his native islands, and enjoyed unusual
opportunities for obtaining specimens from the fishermen and
in the markets. The latter are among the chief zoolc^cal
attractions, more particularly early in the day, when the
stalls present a great variety, both as to numbers and
species, many of which, including the famous tunny and the
lampticca or coryphane (dolphin of the ancients), are famous
either as articles of food, or for their brilliant and beautiful
colourii^ The local names will facilitate the student in
obtaining specimens ; for further particulars the reader will
find Dr. Gulia's brochure extremely useful
