INTRODUCTION. 



The material on which the present report is based was collected by the 

 Oithotui from 1906 to 1909 inclusive, and during the latter half of 1913. 

 Attention was directed particularly to the capture and determination 

 of the post-larval fishes. The investigations during the first four years 

 were carried out by Mr. A. E. Hefford, and his notes have been fully 

 relied upon for the identification of the species. For the collecting and 

 working out of the 1913 material I am directly and wholly responsible.
