Acknowledgments 



The original impetus for this study came from A.D. 

 Lewis, now with the South Pacific Commission, Nou- 

 mea, New Caledonia. In the course of his doctoral 

 dissertation on population genetics of Australian scom- 

 broids (Lewis 1981), he discovered that there were two 

 species in the genus Grammatorcynus, informed us of 

 the problem, and provided us with frozen material 

 needed to do a thorough anatomical study. We are 

 deeply appreciative of his interest and efforts through- 

 out the course of this study. Sally Rothwell spent the 

 month of February 1983 working in the Systematics 

 Laboratory on a Careers in Biology Program from Col- 

 gate University. Her efforts made completion of the 

 1983 preliminary paper possible. Frozen material, vital 

 for this study, was provided through the efforts of 

 A.D. Lewis, J.E. McCosker (CAS), B. Hutchins 

 (WAM), and G. McPherson (Northern Fisheries Re- 

 search Center, Queensland). Several assistants, stu- 

 dents, and colleagues participated in dissections over 

 the years: Linda Pushee Mercer, Frances Matthews 

 Van Dolah, Sally Rothwell, and Joseph Russo. Pre- 

 served material was made available by A. Ben-Tuvia 

 (HUJ), B.E. Bookheim (Department of Marine and 

 Wildlife Resources, Pago Pago, American Samoa), 

 W.E. Eschmeyer and P. Sonoda (CAS), R.A. Croft 

 (Ponape State Government), B. Herzig (NMW), 

 W. Klausewitz (SMF), A.D. Lewis (then in Papua New 

 Guinea), G.J. Nelson (AMNH), J.R. Paxton (AMS), 

 J.E. Randall and A.Y. Suzumoto (BPBM), J.B. Hut- 

 chins (WAM), and P.J.P. Whitehead (then at BMNH). 

 Assistance with analyzing the morphometric data was 

 provided by Ruth Gibbons. Osteological drawings were 

 painstakingly rendered by Keiko Hiratsuka Moore. The 

 map was produced by Martha S. Nizinski. Participa- 

 tion in this study by the second author was made pos- 

 sible by a Smithsonian Summer Internship in Verte- 

 brate Zoology in the summer of 1989. Drafts of the 



manuscript were reviewed by G. David Johnson, 

 Thomas A. Munroe, Yosuo Nishikawa, and William 

 Smith-Vaniz.
