REPORT OX THE FISHES. 



By Samuel Garman. 



Much the larger additions to the collection have been made 

 with a minimum of expense for collecting, manipulation, and 

 preservation, from material contributed by the Boston Society of 

 Natural History, drawn from a considerable portion of the world's 

 surface. Among them are Cuban collections made by Prof. F. 

 Poey, others by Prof. E. S. Morse from Japan, by Prof. F. W. 

 Putnam from numerous localities in North America, by C. F. 

 Winslow from the Hawaiian Islands, and by Dr. Jeffries Wyman, 

 including evidences of his industry for many years in the way of 

 skeletons, dissections, and embryos, mainly from South America. 

 Cuban collections have been received from Dr. Thomas Barbour, 

 and some from the Solomon Islands from Dr. W. M. Mann. A lot 

 of carefully selected Bermudian specimens were received from 

 Prof. E.K Mark. 



Mr. G. K. Noble secured a number of Andean fishes from the 

 stomachs of frogs. Dr. J. Reighard furnished a representation 

 of the lampreys of Michigan. A purchase from Rev. George 

 Schwab contains a large series of species from the Cameroons; 

 others were obtained from Madagascar, taken by Mr. F. R. 

 Wulsin. 



The Carleton collections were returned by Dr. H. W. Fowler. 

 Considerable amounts of cataloguing, identification, and labeling 

 have been done.
