224 Fish-Poisoning in the Hawanan Islands 
drugged water or had moved on to the dry rocks. One of these 
placed for-ten minutes in clear water to see if it would revive gave 
no sign of life. 
Most of the dead fish were ohua, from one to two inches long. 
It is possible that they were overlooked previously on account of 
the excitement and the stained, but not turbid water. It is more 
probable, however, that they survived longer through greater 
power of resistance to the drug, as in the beginning their slowness 
to succumb had been noticeable. A holothurian in the pool and 
mollusks clinging to the sides did not appear to be affected, but it 
was difficult to make sure of their condition. 
A list of the fishes caught is given herewith under their local 
names on the Island of Hawaii. There were 126 specimens iden- 
tified, with the aid of the United States Fish Commissioner’s Re- 
port for 1903, as 17 species.
