INTRODUCTION 

 By Leonard P. Schultz 



This is the second volume of U. S. National Museum Bulletin 

 202, "Fishes of the Marshall and Marianas Islands." The first 

 volume was published on December 15, 1953. The third volume is 

 in preparation. 



A list of fish collecting stations, maps, and other information perti- 

 nent to the use of volume 2 were published in volume 1. 



A few errors have been noted that we wish to correct : 



p. 108, 3d paragraph last line should read 1949, not 1948 



p. 166, since Euleptorhamphus is neuter the species name is viride, not 



viridis 

 p. 259, figure 39, M. dMncA;en is figure "a' and M. hrevirostris is figure "d" 

 p. 279, add p. 576 to Walbaura reference 

 p. 314, in section 5a, 4th line from bottom should read scales cycloid or 



ctenoid 

 p. 369, synonymy, ForskSl, not Fosk&l 

 p. 386, ocellata, not ocellatus 

 p. 387, last line, soft, not saft dorsal 

 p. 407, 4th paragraph first line, Marston not Marsden 

 p. 537, Monotaxis, not Montaxis 

 pi. 26, A, name should be Epinephelus horridus (Cuvier and Valenciennes) . 



Except for the families by Ernest A. Lachner, I have supplied 

 and mounted all the illustrations, and written the legends for them. 

 If any errors were made, my collaborators should not be blamed.
