IV. SOME MARINE FISHES FROM COLOMBIA AND 

 ECUADOR.* 



By Charles Wilson. 



The specimens enumerated in the present paper were collected (a) 

 by C. H. Eigenmann in January of 191 2 in the bay and on the shores 

 of the Caribbean Sea at Cartagena, and in March, 1912, at Buena- 

 ventura on the Pacific shores of Colombia; (b) by Arthur Henn and 

 Charles Wilson in January, 1913, at Tumaco and in the Rio Rosario, 

 both near the southwestern corner of Colombia; and (c) by Arthur 

 Henn in May, 1913, at Guayaquil, Ecuador. 



The primary object of the expeditions to Colombia and Ecuador 

 was to collect freshwater fishes. No attempt was made to make 

 complete collections of marine fishes at any of the localities which 

 were visited. 



The work of Professor Eigenmann was under the auspices of the 

 Indiana University and the Carnegie Museum. The types and first 

 series collected by him are in the Carnegie Museum. The work of 

 Mr. Henn and myself in Colombia was under the auspices of the 

 jndiana University and was equipped and financed by Mr. H. McK. 

 Landon and Mr. Carl G. Fisher, both of Indianapolis. The types and 

 first series collected by us are in the collections of the Carnegie Museum, 

 which has engaged to publish the results of these expeditions. The 

 second series obtained by the above expeditions are in the Museum of 

 Indiana University. 



The work of Mr. Arthur Henn in Ecuador and in the lower San 

 Juan was under the auspices of Indiana University and was financed 

 by Mr. Hugh McK. Landon of Indianapolis. The tj'pes and first 

 series collected by him are, for the most part, in the collections of the 

 Indiana LTniversity, the second series is in the Carnegie Museum. 



A few of the marine fishes collected by Mr. Max Ellis during the 

 Gimbel expedition to Guiana and by Mr. John Haseman for the 

 Carnegie Museum are also listed. 



In the following list of species and specimens the numbers refer
