A list of the fishes of Hawaii, with notes and descriptions of new species

Abstract

The senior author of this paper spent most of the month of August, 1921, at Honoluki in attendance upon the Pan-Pacific Educational Conference. While there, he gave all available time to making collections of fishes, having the efficient assistance of Mr. Fordyce Grinnell, Jr., a former student of his, who visited the markets daily. The collections made have been distributed among a number of museums. The Carangida' have been sent to the American Museum of Natural History in New York to be used in a monograph of that group by Mr. John Treadwell Nichols; the types of new species have been sent to the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh; and series of other species, more or less complete, to the American Museum of Natural History, the Carnegie Museum, the Southwestern Museum at Los Angeles, and to the Universities of Michigan and of Iowa. In addition to notes on new and rare forms we have given a complete list of the species thus far known from Hawaii, the whole serving as a revision of the two memoirs on the Aquatic Resources of the Hawaiian Islands, published by the United States Fish Commission in 1905, the first by David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann on the survey of the shore-fishes made in 1901;* the other by Charles Henry Gilbert on the deep-sea forms taken by the "Albatross"
