DESCRIPTION OF NEW FISHES OF BERMUDA 

 BY TARLETON H. BEAN. 



In February, 1912, the author visited Bermuda at the request 

 of the Fishery Board. During his stay at the islands a number 

 of species of fishes were obtained through Mr. L. L. Mowbray, 

 who is now director of the Boston Aquarium. The recent col- 

 lections of Mr. Mowbray have added 34 species of fishes to 

 the Catalogue which I published in 1906 in Vol. VII, No. 2, 

 Zoological Series, Field Columbian Museum, Publication 108, 

 bringing the total number of known species at the present time 

 to 296. 



Some of the types of the new species are in the U. S. National 

 Museum while others which are represented by only a single 

 individual are in the Museum of the Bermuda Natural History 

 Society. 



Of the species believed to be undescribed, the account of 

 one, Emblemaria markii, is contributed by Mr. Louis L. Mow- 

 bray. The entire list of additions to the fish fauna since the 

 publication of the Catalogue of 1906 is as follows:
