A LIST OF THE FISHES OF HAWAII, WITH NOTES AND 

 DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 



By David Stare Jordan and Eric Knight Jordan. 



(Plates I-IV). 



The senior author of this paper spent most of the montli of August, 1921, at 

 Honolulu in attendance upon the Pan-Pacific Eckicational Conference. While 

 there, he gave all available time to making collections of fishes, having the efficient 

 assistance of Mr. Fordyce Grinnell, Jr., a former student of his, who visited the 

 markets daily. The collections made have been distributed among a number of 

 museums. The Carangidce have been sent to the American Museum of Natural 

 History in New York to be used in a monograph of that group by Mr. John Tread- 

 well Nichols; the types of new species have been sent to the Carnegie Museum in 

 Pittsburgh; and series of other species, more or less complete, to the American 

 Museum of Natural History, the Carnegie Museum, the Southwestern Museum 

 at Los Angeles, and to the Universities of Michigan and of Iowa. 



In addition to notes on new and rare forms we have given a complete list of 

 the species thus far known from Hawaii, the whole serving as a revision of the two 

 memoirs on the Aquatic Resources of the Hawaiian Islands, published by the 

 United States Fish Commission in 1905, the first by David Starr Jordan and 

 Barton Warren Evermann on the survey of the shore-fishes made in 1901;* the 

 other by Charles Henry Gilbert on the deep-sea forms taken by the "Albatross" 

 in 1902.t
