PREFACE,
Tue scope of Volume IV. of the present Catalogue is in accordance
with the anticipation expressed in the Preface and Introduction of its
predecessor. ‘Three Suborders are first considered, namely: the Acan-
thopterygii, eight Families of which were dealt with in Volume IIL. ;
the Opisthomi, represented by the Mastacembelide; and the Plecto-
gnathi, similarly including only one Family, the Tetrodontide. The
subject is then continued by an account of addenda to the previous
volumes. The danger of overlooking these has been minimised by the
preparation of a general systematic index to the four volumes, in which
the author has placed the new species in what he regards as their
proper position in his system.
Mr. Boulenger’s account of the Fresh-water Fishes of Africa is thus
brought to a conclusion, While recognising fully the value of the
services rendered by the collectors and donors of unique material
preserved in the Museum, and particularly by those mentioned in the
Introduction, it is impossible to overlook the fact that the principal
stimulus leading to the acquisition of the collection has been the
author’s own enthusiasm and unrivalled knowledge of the subject of
this work.

INTRODUCTION.
‘THis fourth volume, which concludes the ‘ Catalogue of the Fresh-water
Fishes of Africa,’ contains the last families of Acanthopterygii and
the Opisthomi and Plectognathi (135 species, 1390 specimens), an
Appendix dealing with the additions to the literature and the
collection since the publication of the preceding volumes (issued in
1909, 1911, and 1915, respectively), and Indexes to the whole work.
The collection, the arrangement of which is now completed, is
certainly the largest ever brought together and described from the
fresh waters of any part of the world, comprising as it does over
15,000 specimens, or more than one-half of the total number of Fishes
in the British Museum at the conclusion of Dr. Giinther’s Catalogue in
1870. At that date—a land-mark in the history of systematic Ichthy-
ology—very little was known of the fresh-water fishes of Africa, and
even ten years later, in his ‘Study of Fishes,’ Dr. Giinther assessed the
number of species then known at 255 only, intentionally omitting a
few forms such as occur also in the sea (the Angudllide and Mugilide,
for instance). In a list compiled by me ten years ago, the number of
species was estimated at 974. 1425 are described in the present work.
In addition to the 15,000 specimens in the Museum, it has been my
privilege to examine a nearly equal number, principally from the Nile
Survey, the Congo (Tervueren), Genoa, Paris, S. African, and Luxemburg
Museums, and the collections made by the late Dr. W. J. Ansorge,
who, up to the time of his death two years ago, had been most
energetic in exploring various rivers of West Africa, from Portuguese
Guinea to Angola, and who, within the last fifteen years, on his own
initiative, has done more than any other collector for the increase of
our knowledge of African Fishes. Next in importance, and in addition
to those mentioned in the ‘ Fishes of the Nile’ and in the Introduction
vi INTRODUCTION.
to the first volume of this Catalogue, are the collections made by
Mr. G. L. Bates (Cameroon), Dr. E. Bayon (Uganda), Major G. Ei
Bruce (Transvaal and Lagos), Dr. C. Christy (Congo), Mr. T. Codrington
(Zambesi), Capt. R. D. Gard’ner (Nigeria), Mr. S. L. Hinde (Kenya
district of E. Africa), Mr. W. P. Lowe (Liberia), M. E. Luja (Congo),
Mr. F. H. Melland (Lake Bangwelu), Mr. A. Blayney Percival (British
E. Africa), Capt. E. L. Rhoades (Lake Nyassa), Dr. H. G. F. Spurrell
(Gold Coast), Dr. L. Stappers (Lukes Tanganyika and Mweru), Mr. N,
W. Thomas (Sierra Leone), and the late Mr. R. B. Woosnam (Ruwenzori
and Lake Ngami Basin).
Numerous new Cyprinids have recently been added to the fauna of
South Africa by Dr. J. D. F. Gilchrist and Mr. W. Wardlaw Thompson,
and most of the figures which accompany their descriptions in the
‘Annals of the South African Museum’ have been reproduced in the
Appendix to Vols. I, and IL, by the kind permission of the Director.
of the South African Museum, Dr. L. Péringuey.
