During iVIarch and April, 1918, a small collection of rather large 

 commercial fishes was sent to the Academy for determination in 

 fresh state. As several were desiderata they were placed in the 

 museum. In the summer of 1916 a number of live fishes as sent 

 to the Philadelphia Aquarium from Key West, and afterward several 

 were receiv^ed at the Academy. The latter are indicated below 

 by the prefixed asterisk. On March 10, 1917, Mr. Morgan Hebard 

 collected a few fishes at Biscayne Bay and Soldier Key. During

 in Charlotte Harbor. All his material has kindly been presented 

 to the Academy, and I am further indebted to him for the field- 

 notes, common names, etc., included below. Localities gi'Ven below 

 refer to his material exclusively.
