Jamaica. 



In 1892 Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell compiled ''A Provisional List 

 of the Fishes of Jamaica/'" the first attempt to collect in orderly 

 arrangement the species mentioned in the various scattered works. 

 The hst by Richard Hill in 1855 is allocated, but as it "is httle more 

 than a catalogue of names, many of which are but doubtfully cor- 

 rect," it had best be discarded. As Cockerell gives a short bibliog- 

 raphy at the end of his paper, only subsequent papers are mentioned 

 here. Aulostoma 7naculatuin and Rhinohatos undulatus are recorded 

 by Cockerell^ ^ the next year, and a little later J. E. Duerden men- 

 tions a number of food fishes^^ and C. H. T. Townsend has remarks 

 on Sicydium.^'' Jordan and Rutter report the collection of fishes
