A PRELIMINARY LIST OF THE PISHES OF THE WEST INDIES

Rv DAVID $!>TARR JORDAN.

In

thislist I

have eudeavored

to

represent

the

present condition of our knowledge

of

the

fish-fauna

of

the

West

Indies. I

have included

init all species

which have been accredited by good authority

to

the waters

of

the West Indies proper and the Bermudas, as

well as to

the Atlantic

coasts of

Mexico, Central America, Venezuela, and Guiana.

I

have

ex-

cluded from

itall species

which have not yet been found

farther

south than

the

Florida Keys and the " Snapi)er Banks

^"

of the

Gulf,

as

well

as

all

those

as

yet known only from

Brazil,

although, as a matter

of course,

many

^of

^each

^of

these

categorieswill

be found

to

be genuine members

of

the West Indian fauna, the "Snapper Bank" fauna

especially

being

en- tirely

West Indian

in its

general

character.

In most of the

families

an attempt has been made

to

exclude purely nominal

species,

but

in

some groups

{Siluridce^ Syngnathidrc,

Murwnida',

etc.), in

which no

criti- cal studies

have yet been made,

this

has been

impossible.

Throughout the

list

reference has been made

toGiintliers

Catalogue of the Fishes of the

British JNIuseum,

and

in

case of

species

described under one name or another

in

the writings of Professor Poey,

this fact is

indicated by the

letter P.

It

should be

clearly

understood that

this is

simply

a i)reliminary list,

which must needs be greatly modified when the

species

of the

different groujjs receive

thorough study.

It is ])robable

that comparatively few of the larger

shore-fishes

are

to

be added

to

the

list,

but

^of

the smaller

fishes,

and

especially

of those found

in

deep

water, it is

not unlikely that the majority are

still

undescribed.

This

list

may be compared with a

similar list

of the

species

described from the

Pacific

Coast of Tropical America^ published by me

in

these Proceedings

for 1885, pp.

361-394,

In matters of nomenclature,

I

have endeavored

to follow

exactly the

rules laid

down

in

the code

recently

published by the American Orni-

thologists'

Union, with the exception

of

Canons XVII and XVIII, both of which

I

repudiate,

as likely to

be productive only of confusion.
