INDEX 



Reference to page numbers for figures is made in italics. Reference to color plates 

 is made in text under each species. Because of space restrictions, reference to 

 group and some species names have been omitted as in the following cases; 



Example a Family Rachicentridae would be given by type genus Rachycentron. 

 Example h The red, black, and broom-tail groupers are indicated simply by the 



word "grouper." 

 Example c All species of the genus Acropora (e.g. cervicornis, palmata') are 



referred to by the genus name only.
