\ Mr. G. Brown Goode, who was for many years Assistant on the U. S. Fish 

 Communion ; later, Assistant Secretary of theSmil hsonian Institution and Direr to r 

 of the National Museum ; and at one time Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries; 

 wa- a prominent ichthyologist. He published a number of important works on 

 fishes. One of his earlier ones was a Catalogue of the Fishes of IJermuda with 

 notes on their colors and habits. (Bulletin of the U. S. National Museum. No. 

 .">. ix?i>.) He published a more complete catalogue in I'.nlletin '3.~>. 1ss| 



He visited Bermuda in the winters of 1870 and 1 s ;;. partly for the benefit 

 of his health. While there he made extensive collections, esperi.ilK of fishes, 

 Crustacea, sponges, corals, and echinoderms. His collections were much 

 larger than any previously obtained there. They contained about '-'>~> species of 

 Brachyura and Anomnra ; also many Macrura. Aiuphipods, etc. His corals, 

 actinia^, echinoderms. bryozoa. etc., were identified by inc. before isso an ,j 

 studied with reference to the preparation of a faunal report on those -roup-. 

 for Bulletin 0-~> of the U. S. National Museum. But this work and several 

 others were laid aside in order to undertake the more important in\ e-tigat ion
