was found on Waadda Island, a small rocky islet, lying 

 about half a mile from the shore, near Neah Bay. In 

 this same locality large collections were made in 1880 by 

 Professors Jordan and Gilbert. 



Previous to this expedition a small but very valuable 

 collection of fishes had been presented to the Leland 

 Stanford Jr. University by the Young Naturalists' Society. 

 The new forms in this collection are described in the 

 present paper by Jordan and Williams. In the present 

 list are also included the species enumerated by previous 

 writers as occurring in Puget Sound and the Straits of 

 Juan de Fuca. In the list published in 1880 by Jordan 

 and Gilbert ninety species are mentioned as found in 

 these waters. From this list we have drawn freely in our 

 present records of the habits of species. In a later list 

 by Dr. Carl H. Eigenmann (1892), 106 species are re- 

 corded. In the present list 141 species are recorded from 

 these waters. 



The junior author wishes to express here his obliga- 

 tions for the many favors extended to him by the differ- 

 ent members of the Young Naturalists' Society, who did 

 all that was in their power to make his part of the expe- 

 dition a success. He is under particular obligations to 

 Mr. Charles L. Denny and Mr. Edward S. Meany, who 

 helped him in many ways, both in the dredging trip and 

 on his trip to Neah Bay. He is indebted also to Mr. 

 Henry H. Hindshaw for entertainment iri Seattle and help 

 of various kinds. Valuable aid was also given by Mr. 

 Adam Hubbert, Miss Adella M. Parker, Miss Maud 

 Parker, Mr. Trevor Kincaid, Mr. J. W. Busby, Mr. Al- 

 bert Bryan, Miss Robeson, Mrs. J. E. Chilberg, Mrs. H. 

 H. Hindshaw, Prof. O. B. Johnson, Prof. C. V. Piper, 

 Mr. Oscar Piper, and Miss Newell, members of the so- 

 ciety in question. Further acknowledgment is due to
