INTRODUCTION 



The present work forms the fifth part of my studies of the fishes 

 of the Albatross collections. It concludes the main percoid series, 

 and, like Part 4, embraces a great number of valued food or market 

 fishes. Most of the localities given pertain to the Philippines, though 

 the other localities in the Netherlands Indies, China, Formosa, and 

 Oceania visited by the Albatross are included as well. The prefatory 

 remarks given in the preceding volumes will largely apply here also, 

 especially those pertaining to the great services rendered under Dr. 

 Hugh M. Smith's direction. 



In the family Sparidae the following are herein described as new: 



Psilopentapodus, new subgenus Pentapodus. 



Dulosparus, new subgenus Sparus. 



Rhabdosargus, new subgenus Diplodus. 



Simocantharus, new subgenus Spondyliosoma. 



In Kyphosidae: 



Kyphosus hleekeri, new species. (New specific name for Pimelepte- 

 rus lembus, not Cuvier, and Pimelepterus waigiensis, not Quoy 

 and Gaimard, but both of Bleeker.)
