Abstract
IN a short notice of the contents of the August number of the Bulletin de la Société d' Acclimatation de Paris, in NATURE, vol. xi. p. 98, reference is made to M. Cabonnier's announcement of “the arrival from India of several specimens of three varieties of fish never hitherto brought to Europe—the Anabas scandens or Climbing Perch,” &c. With respect to the Anabas scandens, I wish to remark that in April 1872 I sent from Calcutta to the Gardens of the Royal Zoological Society of Ireland two specimens of this fish. Both specimens arrived safely and were exhibited in a tank in the Gardens; one died soon after arrival, the other lived for several months, succumbing at length to the cold of the following winter.*
