302 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL. 92 
made in Liberia. In addition to 15 species never before recorded in 
the Liberian fauna, 72 new distribution records for that country were 
obtained. 
Dr. Mann’s collection at Bendaja, in the Mano River drainage, 
represents the first fishes to be reported upon from that stream. He 
took 22 species, none of them new. 
In the St. Pauls River system Dr. Mann collected fishes at Bromley 
and at Bellyella. The latter locality, near the Tuma River, is far 
up the St. Pauls River system, and there 13 species were obtained. 
One was a new species found nowhere else; another was a new species 
found also at Bromley. Two others were new records for the St. 
Pauls River system but were collected also at Bromley. At Bromley 
28 species were collected, 15 of which have not been reported pre- 
viously from the St. Pauls River, and 5 of these were new. One of 
these was taken also at Bellyella. 
In the Du and Borlor River systems, 37 species were taken, 20 of 
which have not previously been recorded from the Du-Borlor-Farm- 
ington River system. Among these, 1 was a new species found no- 
where else and 3 others were new species but found also in St. Pauls 
River. 
Dr. Mann collected fishes in three river systems, taking altogether 
47 species; 18 other species have been reported upon in the literature; 
and 3 others not previously recorded from Liberia are listed in this 
report, based on specimens either in the United States National 
Museum or the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Thus, the known 
strictly fresh-water fish fauna of Liberia totals 68 species. 
A number of fishes have been reported from the brackish waters of 
Liberia: /ugil cephalus by Steindachner,? from the mouth of Mes- 
surado River (one of the mouths of St. Pauls River at Monrovia) ; 
Mugil falcipinnis by Steindachner,t from “Fischermann See” and 
“Messurado R.”; Boulenger’ records it from Nanna Kru. 
Steindachner 5 records Gerres melanopterus from St. Pauls River 
and Cape Mount River, and Hubrecht’ reroede it from the mouth of 
the Messurado River in brackish water. 
Fowler § reports Ophichthus rufus (Rafinesque) from Mount Coffee 
(St. Pauls River). This eel probably migrated from the sea (U.S. 
N. M. No. 48488). 
Steindachner® reported Belone senegalensis and Hemirhamphus 
schlegelii?° from Fischermann See at Buluma.
