22 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



REPORT ON THE FISHES. 



By Samuel Garman. 



The most important additions were the gifts of South American 

 fishes by Dr. Hiram Bingham, many of them cotypes from descrip- 

 tions by Eigenmann; a fine series of Bermudan fishes donated 

 by the Bermuda Biological Station for Research; and a very 

 interesting lot of the species frequenting the coral reefs of the 

 Solomon Islands, collected by Dr. W. M. Mann. 



The usual amount of attention has been devoted to the care of 

 the collections, that is, to the regular work demanded by the 

 Department. 



Mr. Alvin Seale has worked over a large part of the eels and 

 Serranidae. 



By exchanges and by purchases the Museum has brought 

 together one of the best series known of the Giant Tortoises of 

 the Galapagos Islands; this provided for my memoir, The Gala- 

 pagos Tortoises (Mem. M. C. Z., SO, no. 4).
