In March, 1807, the schooner H. C. Wahlberg, Capt. A.W.Anthony, 

 set out from San Diego, California, on a collecting- exjiedition to the 

 islands off the west coast of Mexico, the principal purpose being the 

 exploration of Clarion and Socorro, which islands, with other smaller 

 ones, compose the Revillagigedo Archipelago. Mr. R. C. McGregor, ti 

 student in zoology in Leland Stanford Junior University, went with 

 the vessel as assistant naturalist. Among other things he obtained a 

 tine collection of tishes, most of them secured by the use of dynamite 

 among the rocks of Clarion and Socorro islands, A very few of the 

 fishes were taken in an improvised seine; no dredge was used. 



Collections were made at the following localities: Ensenada, March 

 6; Todos Santos Island, March 10; Sau Martin Island, March 12; San 

 Geronimo Island, March 15; Guadalupe Island, March 23; San Benito 

 Island, March 27 ; Cerros Island, April 4; Abreqjos Point, April 19; San 

 Jose del Cabo, April 23. Finally, nearly the whole month of May was 

 devoted to collecting about San Benedicto, Socorro, and Clarion islands. 



Six new species were obtained, as follows: 



Miirichihys pantostigmius, Claiiou Island, 5710, L. S. Jr. Univ. Mus. 

 ZalociiH Htilbe, Clarion Island, 1199(i, L. S. Jr. I'uiv. Mns. 

 Apogon airicandus, Socorro Island, .5708. L. S. .Jr. Univ. Mus. 

 Forcipigertlarissimits. Clarion Island, .5709. L. S. Jr. Univ. Mus. 

 Caiitlwriiies carolii; Socorro Island, 11995, L. S. Jr. Univ. Mus. 

 Azurina hinuulo, Guadalupe Island, 5706, L. S. Jr. Univ. Mus. 



These species are also described in Jordan «S: Evermann's Fishes of 

 North America. 



The fauna of the outlying islands of Mexico and Ecuador contains a 

 number of species properly belonging to the fauna of the East Indies. 

 Few of these oriental types reach the coast of Mexico or Panama, the 

 coast fauna in general being analogous to that of the West Indies. 

 Among tlie forms not found along the mainland, and identical or nearly 

 identical with East Indian species, are the following, those here recorded 

 for the first time from American waters being printed in italics: 



Lycndonti8pictH8. Kypliosns Intescens. Teiilhin aliala. 



Caranx orthograiunius. Forcipigcr Jldiisaimits Mflichtliys liispinosus. 



Caranx lugubris. (lonj^irostris). Xanthiohthys nu'uto.
