FISHES OF HAM'AIIAN ISLANDS. 
23 
LIST OF SPECIES OF FISHES DESCRIBED AN NEW FROM THE HAWAIIAN INLANDS. 
Iii the present report on the fishes of the Hawaiian Islands we have included 
not only the Hawaiian Islands proper, but Laysan and the other small islands known 
as the Leeward Islands, which extend some sou miles northwestward from the main 
group; we also include Johnston Island, lying about the same distance southwest 
from Hawaii. The region thus limited constitutes a definite faunistic unit, the 
species being largely distinct from those of the South Seas. 
Following is a list in chronologic order of all the nominal species of fishes that have 
been described from the Hawaiian Islands. In this tabular statement are given 
(1) the name under which each species was described and the authority for it, (2) the 
present identification. (3) the type locality, and (1) the year when the description was 
published. Names not now tenable are in italics. From this table it appears that 
a total of 355 species have been described from Hawaiian type localities. Of this 
number 78 are now regarded as synonyms, which leaves 277 tenable species orig¬ 
inally described from the Hawaiian Islands. Adding to these 168 species known 
to occur at those islands, but originally described from elsewhere, a total of 447 
species is obtained, constituting the known fish-fauna of that group, exclusive of the 
deep-sea fishes described by Doctor Gilbert in Section ii of this work.
