7. COMPARISON OF THE WOODS HOLE CATALOGUE WITH CERTAIN OTHERS. 
While it is no part of our present plan to enter into a historical discussion of the 
‘progress which has been made in cataloguing the marine fauna and flora of other parts 
of the world, it has seemed worth while to compare our own annotated list with certain 
others, both American and European. Accordingly, we have presented in parallel 
columns the number of species belonging to each group which have been listed for 
Vineyard Sound and adjacent waters by Verrill and Smith (1873); for eastern Canada 
by Whiteaves (1901); for the vicinity of Plymouth, England, by the Marine Biological 
Association (1904); for the Irish Sea by Herdman and his colleagues (1896); and for 
the Gulf of Trieste by Graeffe (1880-1903). 
The work of A. E. Verrill and S. I. Smith, which appeared in the first report of the 
United States Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, was the most ambitious attempt 
which had yet been made to catalogue the fauna of any section of our coast. While 
nominally a “‘Report upon the Invertebrate Fauna of Vineyard Sound and the Adjacent 
Waters,” and based primarily upon the earliest dredging operations of the United States 
Fish Commission, the scope of this work extended to the whole southern shore of New 
England, and incidentally to more distant points. The report is divided into two chief
