BUDGETT, F.Z.S. [Eeceived May 8, 1900.] The collection made by Mr. Budgett fills a gap in our knowledge of the African river-fishes. Extraordinary as it may appear, the fishes of the Gambia have been little collected before, and it would have been impossible to draw up a list complete enough to compare with that of the Senegal. As might be expected, the fishes are very similar in the two rivers ; I have nevertheless to describe as new two species, which are represented by several specimens in the collection. Mr. Budgett intends to present examples of these to the British Museum. CROSSOPTERYGII. POLYPTERIDiE. 1. POLYPTERUS LAPRADII Stdr. 2. POLYPTERUS SENEGALUS CUV. DIPNOI. LEPIDOSIRENIDJE. 3.
