FISHES COLLECTED BY THE PEARY RELIEF EXPEDITION OF 1899. 



BY HENRY W. FOWLER. 



Mr. C. F. Silvester kindly placed this collection of fishes in my 

 hands for determination. In some cases the specimens represent 

 localities not given by previous writers. Two species are apparently 

 new. The collection is small, though fairly representative of the 

 meagre fish-fauna of such high latitudes in Greenland. At present 

 it is contained in the Museum of Princeton University, with the 

 exception of a series of duplicates presented to the Academy. The 

 writer is indebted to Princeton University and to Mr. Silvester, for 

 assistance and favors in framing the report.
