 PANAMA. 



By DAVID S. JORDAIV. 



Four hundred and seven species of fishes are now known to inhabit 

 the waters of the Pacific coast of tropical America betM^eeu Cape San 

 Lucas and Panama. Our knowledge of these species is due chiefly to 

 the studies of Dr. Gill, Dr. Glinther, Dr. Steiudaehuer, and Professors 

 Jordan and Gilbert. Only a few collectors have given especial atten- 

 tion to the fish fauna of this regiou, but the work of these has in nearly 

 all cases been of exceptional value. 



The earliest extensive collections were made by Mr. John Xantus at 

 Cape San Lucas, and later at Colima. The specimens obtained by 

 Xantus comprise especially the fishes of the rock-pools. These were

The next collections were made in the bay of Panama, by Capt. John 

 M. Dow, about 1802 to 18G6. The first of these were sent to the Smith- 

 sonian Institution, where they were studied by Dr. Gill. Later, still
