VI PREFACE 



Spelling in most Philippine languages is well settled, but in Tagalog 

 it is in a state of flux. The authors have endeavored to follow a 

 middle course. 



The following lists are presented in the hope that they may be 

 serviceable to people engaged in any aspect of the fishery industries 

 of the Philippines, no matter what language they speak. They should 

 also be of interest to fishery schools, travelers, and the intellectually 

 curious everywhere. Finally, they should be regarded as preliminary 

 to more complete lists that may be compiled in the future.
