INTRODUCTION 



In continuation of the study of the United States Bureau of 

 Fisheries steamer Albatross collections, this paper represents the 

 fourth installment in which I have been engaged. It includes the 

 second part of the percoid series, the majority of which are valued 

 market or commercial fishes. As in the preceding volumes, most of 

 the localities relate to the Philippines, though the other localities 

 in the Netherland Indies, China, Formosa, and Oceania visited by 

 the Albatross are also included. The prefatory remarks of the 

 other volumes as to the organization and personnel of the scientific 

 staff under the direction of Dr. Hugh M. Smith apply equally well 

 in the present work.
