Jordan of a four- volume work of over 3,300 pages on the J'ishes of North 

 and Middle America in which all species then known are described, and of 

 another large popular work on American Food and Game Fishes. 



Willis Sta.\i-ey Blatchley 



Professor Blatchley (North Madison, Conn., Oct. (j, 1859 ) is per- 

 haps the most active and enthusiastic naturalist that Indiana has ever pro- 

 duced. He has not specialized in any one subject to the exclusion of interest 

 in others. He is an all-round naturalist, deeplj' and intelligently interested 

 in nature in all her various aspects. Having been a student of Dr. Jordan's 

 very naturally his first published papers relate to fishes, but very soon he 

 turned his attention more strongly to other fields, chiefly entomology. Only 

 ^\r. Blatchley 's work in ichthyology will be considered here, his other activi- 

 ties being reserved for mention elsewhere in this rejjort. 



Blatchley- 's first paper was on the American species of the genus Umbra, 

 pul)lished in 1885. In the same year appeared two other papers, one a 

 review of the species of the genus l*imei)hales. the other on the genus Aphre- 

 doderus. These fishes all occur- in lii(iiaiia. 



Olivkk Pi:i;hi,i;s .Iknkins 



(Bantam, ()., Nov. :i, l.S.")() ) 



Professor .lenkins has conlrihuted ten or more i)ai)ers to ichthyological 

 literature. Two of them relate to the fishes of Indiana, namely, a list of 

 the fishes of Vigo C'ninty, Indiana, published in 1SS5 and ISSS. and Notes 

 on Indiana fishes (with Barton Warren F.vermann), published in 1888. In 

 the summer of 1887, Dr. Jenkins and the jiresent writer collected and studied 

 the fishes of the Gulf of California particularly in the vicinity of Guaymas, 

 the results of which were published by the National Museum in 1889 and 1891. 

 Later, Dr. Jenkins studied the fishes of the Hawaiian Islands, on which he 

 published four important papers in 1900 to 1903. 



William .). Mok.nkhaus 



Dr. Moeukhau> ( liuntingburgh, Ind., Jan. 6, 1871 ) has contributed

 Etheosloma cdprodis, 1893; Some cases of mimicry in fishes, 1894; Variation 

 of North American fishes, 1894; Notes on a Collection of fishes from Dubois
