SOME FISHES FROM VENEZUELA. 



BY HENRY W. FOWLER. 



Mr. Frank E. Bond having, during the past winter, organized an 

 expedition to collect objects of natural history in the region of 

 the Orinoco delta, secured the fishes here reported. The collection, 

 though small, is important, as it contains several interesting forms 

 apparently new. The Academy is indebted to Mr. Bond for the gift 

 of the specimens to the museum.
