Fische dcr Sud-Sef. — Part VIIL By Dr. Albert Gcstheb. Being 

 Heft xvi. of the 'Journal des Museum Godeffroy.' Hamburg, 

 1909. 4to. 



For the bcnetit of those of the readers of the ' Annals ' who may 

 liave forgotten, or may never have been acquainted with, the history 

 of the 'Journal of the Museum Godeffroy,' we offer this brief sum- 

 mary of its origin and object. lu the latter half of the last century 

 a wealthy merchant of Hamburg, the late Herr C«sar Godeffroy, 

 whose tirm had extensive trade connexions in many parts of the 

 world, and especially in the Pacihc, conceived the idea of collecting 

 in a separate museum the numerous objects brought home by his 

 ships. This, the " Museum Godeffroy," was placed in the charge of 

 an exceedingly able curator, the late J. D. E. Schnieltz, whose death, 

 as Director of the Ethnographical Museum at Leyden, we had to 

 deplore last year. By the advice of the latter, and guided by his 

 own enlightened and generous spirit, Godefiroy not only engaged a 

 staff of experienced collectors, who sent home largo and numerous 

 consignments of ethnographical and natural history specimens, but 

 also determined upon the creation of a special Journal, in which the 

 more important results of the labours of his travellers should be 

 published. 



Thus the ' Journal of the Museum Godeffroy ' was devoted to a 

 miscellaneous series of papers on ethnographical, geogriphical, 

 botanical, and zoological suhjects. The first part appeared in 1S73, 

 L. Friedcrichsen & Co., of Hamburg, being the publishers. 



Among the men who worked for the Godef!roy Museum was a 

 collector, Andrew Garrett, who during his long residence in the 

 Pacific islands, jiarticularly in the Sandwich and ISociety groups, 

 had formed a collection of some 470 illustrations of tishes, drawn 

 and coloured from life by himself. This collection was purchased 

 by C. Godefiroy with the view of utilising it for his Journal. He 

 consulted Dr. Giinther, who proposed to make it the basis for the
