Ensign H. G. Dresel, U. S. Navy, has devoted his time mainly to preparing bibliography of Atlantic fishes, cataloguing the fishes in jars, and the identification of recent collections from the Gulf of Mexico and the West Indies. Mr. Peter Parker Jr. has been occupied for the most part in the bibliography of Atlantic fishes, in field work at Wood's Holl, Mass., and in the preparation of the card catalogue. Mr. H. L. Todd has made a large number of excellent drawings and is now producing some of the finest illustrations of fishes extant.
