38 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF PISH AND FISHERIES. 



In February, 1895, while making certain investigations with refer- 

 ence to the establishment of a marine biological station on the coast of 

 Florida, Dr. H. M. Smith collected a number of fishes at Lake Worth, 

 Biscayne Bay, and elsewhere on the east coast of Florida. These 

 specimens have been studied by us and are cited in this paper under 

 "Smith coll., 1895." 



In October and November, 1896, the present writers spent some time 

 at Key West, Biscayne Bay, Tampa, and Tarpon Springs. Large col- 

 lections of fishes were made which are referred to as "Evermann & 

 Kendall coll., 1896." 



During the early part of 1897 Mr. Charles B. Hudson was at Key 

 West engaged in painting for the U. S. Fish Commission the important 

 food-fishes found at that place. The specimens painted, and some 

 others, were preserved and are referred to as "Hudson coll., 1897." 



From January 15 to April 15, 1897, Dr. Kendall was on the St. Johns 

 Eiver studying the habits of the shad. Incidentally large collections 

 of fishes were made. These we refer to as "Kendall coll., 1897." 



In February, 1898, the Fish Hawlc spent some days at Port Tampa, 

 and collected a few fishes which are cited as '■'■Fish HawJc coll., 1898."
