Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Contributions to the Biology of the Philippine Archipelago and Adjacent Regions, Vol. 7: The Fishes of the Families Pomacentridae, Labridae, and Callyodontidae, Collected by the United States Bureau of Fisheries Steamre "Albatross," Chiefly in Philippine Seas and Adjacent Waters The first part of a report on the immense collection of fishes made during the cruise of the United States Bureau of Fisheries steamer Albatross in Philippine waters and adjacent seas in 1907-1910 is herewith presented. Reports on other families will follow as soon as completed. The present collections were obtained by dredging, seining, trapping, dynamiting the reefs, as well as by the use of submarine light at night and by the purchase of market material. Great credit is due to the scientific staff, consisting of Dr. Hugh M. Smith, director of the expedition; F. M. Chamberlain, naturalist; Lewis Radcliffe, assistant naturalist; C. E. Wells, ship´s clerk; and K. Ito, artist; for to their efforts we owe not only the splendid preservation of the material, but ichthyologists are also deeply indebted to them for the large number of color notes which accompany the specimens. These notes were based upon living material or upon specimens as soon after death as possible. In many instances these color notes were supplemented by color sketches made by K. Ito. These color notes are printed in the text and are cited with the tin-tag field number attached to the specimen upon which they were based.
