Excerpt from Contributions to the Biology of the Philippine Archipelago and Adjacent Regions, Vol. 12: The Fishes of the Families Banjosidae, Lethrinidae, Sparidae, Girellidae, Kyphosidae, Oplegnathidae, Gerridae, Mullidae, Emmelichthyidae, Sciaenidae, Sillaginidae, Arripidae, and Enoplosidae Collected by the United States Bureau of Fishiries Steamer "Alba The present work forms the fifth part of my studies of the fishes of the Albatross collections. It concludes the main percoid series, and, like Part 4, embraces a great number of valued food or market fishes. Most of the localities given pertain to the Philippines, though the other localities in the Netherlands Indies, China, Formosa, and Oceania visited by the Albatross are included as well. The prefatory remarks given in the preceding volumes will largely apply here also, especially those pertaining to the great services rendered under Dr. Hugh M. Smith's direction.
