CATALOGUE OF THE FRESH-WATER FISHES OF CENTRAL 

 AMERICA AND SOUTHERN MEXICO. 



Carl H. Eigenmann, 



Prpfi'ssor of Zooloffv, huliaiut University. 



In this paper I have endeavored to complete the enumeration of the 

 tropical American frcsli-water fishes. The species iiihabitino- this region 

 should liave betui cnuuHu-ated with the South Americau species* with 

 which they are closely related. The list was omitted because several 

 works bearing on these fishes could not be examiiuMl before the South 

 American catalogue went to press. 



The region covered by this catalogue embraces the fresh waters north 

 of the Isthmus of Panama to the Tropic of Cancer. 



*Proc. U. S. Nat. Mas., 1891, pp. 1-81. Since this paper was published a iiunibcr of 

 new species have been described. I take this occasion to add these and also to give 

 a number of species overlooked in the former papc^r.
