On his return to England after the second expedition he began to write this four-volume work of natural history, first published between 1829 and 1837. A volume is dedicated to each of the classes of mammal, bird, fish and insect, which are found in the Canadian Arctic. This work is an interesting example of pre-Darwinian natural history, full of detailed descriptions of the appearance, anatomy and behaviour of the different species. Volume 3 was first published in 1836 and is devoted to the species of fish found in the Canadian Arctic. It contains many detailed illustrations, and discussions of the similarities between different species of fish.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Osseous Fishes: Acanthopterygii: Percoideae\u003cbr\u003e Mulli\u003cbr\u003e Cottoideae\u003cbr\u003e Claenoideae\u003cbr\u003e Sparoideae\u003cbr\u003e Maenoideae\u003cbr\u003e Chaetodontoideae\u003cbr\u003e Anabasideae\u003cbr\u003e Scomberoideae\u003cbr\u003e Taenioideae\u003cbr\u003e Siganoideae\u003cbr\u003e Mugiloideae\u003cbr\u003e Gobioideae\u003cbr\u003e Batrachoideae\u003cbr\u003e Labroideae\u003cbr\u003e Fistularoideae\u003cbr\u003e Malacopterygii Abdominalis: Cyprinoideae\u003cbr\u003e Esocidae\u003cbr\u003e Siluroideae\u003cbr\u003e Salmonoideae\u003cbr\u003e Clupeoideae\u003cbr\u003e Malacopterygii Subbrachiati: Gadoideae\u003cbr\u003e Platessoideae\u003cbr\u003e Discoboli\u003cbr\u003e Macacopterygii Apodes: Anguilliformes\u003cbr\u003e Lophobranchii\u003cbr\u003e Plectognathi\u003cbr\u003e Cartilaginous Fishes: Chondropterygii Eleutheropomi: Sturionideae\u003cbr\u003e Chondropterygii Trematopneontes: Selachii\u003cbr\u003e Cyclostomata\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20science%20%5BPDX%5D%22\"\u003ePDX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266067747096,"sku":"9781108041690","price":41.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108041690i_a63ec14e-b96a-436d-8fd2-4500a332f48d.jpg?v=1696746515","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/fauna-boreali-americana-or-the-zoology-of-the-northern-parts-of-british-america-containing-descriptions-of-the-objects-of-natural-history-collected-on-the-late-northern-land-expeditions-under-command-of-captain-sir-john-frank-paperback-9781108041690","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
