in 1819. The l ran '<■ left Toulon, France, September 17, 1817, on a voyage around 
the world, under the command of M. Louis de Freycinet. Among those on board 
who merit mention in this connection were M. Jean ltene Constant Quoy, surgeon- 
general of the expedition; M. Joseph Paul Gaimard, second surgeon; M. Charles 
Beaupre Gaudichaud, pharmacist of the third class; M. Dominique Francois Jean 
Arago, draftsman; M. Louis Isidore Duperrey, midshipman; and M. Charles Bon¬ 
net, mate. The Uran>< arrived at Owhyhee (Hawaii) August 15, 1819, and later 
visited Maui, Oahu, and perhaps other islands of the group. Whether the corvette 
Phyxicienne. which accompanied the TJranie on the voyage round the world, visited 
the Hawaiian Islands is not evident from the narrative. It appears, however, that 
the officers of the Vran it took the more active interest in making scientific observa¬ 
tions and collections. 
In the Zoology of the voyage of the Vranie and Physicienne Messrs. Quoy and 
Gaimard published (1824) an account of the collections obtained. The fishes were 
collected chiefly in the Pacific and Indian oceans, and the total number of species 
recorded is 112, of which 22 were from the Hawaiian Islands. Of these 22 species, 
21 were described as new. In the following list the type locality in each case is the 
“Sandwich Islands" unless otherwise stated. Species described as new are indicated 
by italics.

The voyage of II. M. S. Blonde to the Sandwich Islands was made in the years 
1S24-25. under the command of Capt. the Right Hon. Lord Byron, for the purpose 
of conveying to the islands the bodies of King Kamehameha 11 and his Queen, both of 
whom had died within a week (the queen on July 8, the king on July 14,1824), while 
on a visit to England. The Blond, sailed from Spithead on September 29, and on May 
3, 1825, came in sight of the island of Hawaii. After a stay of about ten weeks at 
the islands, during which Hilo. Honolulu, and various other places were visited, the 
vessel left for home July 18. 
During tin' time spent at Honolulu some collecting was done by John Trembly, 
esq., R. N., who accompanied the expedition. The fishes obtained were presented
