CATALOGUE

THE keys at the front of this bulletin help in discovering the scientific names of fish. Each fish has been assigned a catalogue number which may be discovered by reference to one of the indices at the back of the bulletin. By reference to what is said about the fish in the catalogue itself, further information may be obtained.

It shows the different scientific names (synonyms) by which each fislr: has been referred to, and ·by whom, where and when these descriptions were provided. To do this concisely certain conventions and abbrceviations have been resorted to. Following the name of the author who wrote about the species, there is data indicating the year and publication of his writing. Sometimes the date is preceded by contracted titles of journals and by figures whjch indicate the volume, part numbers and paginations of sections applicable to the species. These can be readily noted by reference to the bibliography which composes part of this bulletin.

Abbreviations have been used to denote the publication e.g. Ohanos salmoneus Willey, G 18, 1909, means that Willey makes a referenC!e to Ohanos chanos as Ohanos salmoneus in his Administration Report of the Marine Biologist for 1909' on page G 18 (Refer to bibliography under Willey).

The scientific names in the catalogue are given in heavy type. The common English names are given immediately following the scientific name. Sinhalese names appear in italics on the left and the Tamil names on the right below the scientific name.

The nomenclature of the Orders, Families and other groups are arranged according to authorities who have worked on this S1:fbject (Berg 1947 and Welander 19'49). The same type of information appears, a little more concisely, in the systematic synopsis of the catalogue "\vhich follows the catalogue proper. Freshwater species are marked with an* immediately before the number in the synopsis.
