Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fishes of Western South America: I. The Intercordilleran and Amazonian Lowlands of Peru, II. The High Pampas of Peru, Bolivia, and Northern Chile; With a Revision of the Peruvian Gymnotidae, and of the Genus Orestias The present report had its inception as a proposed Part II of The Fishes of Northwestern South America. Part I consisted of the studies made by C. H. Eigenmann, Arthur W. Henn, Charles E. Wilson, and others upon the fishes of Colombia, Ecuador, and the Pacific slopes of Peru (eigenmann, 1922b). Later the Fishes of Chile appeared (eigenmann, as a separate monograph. Mean while the results of the studies Of N. E. Pearson made on the Mulford Expedition, extending our work southeastward to tie up with the explorations of J. D. Hase man, were published as Part II (pearson, The work of the Irwin Expedition of Indiana University, in Collaboration with the University of Illinois, 1918 - 1919, was devoted (a) to the completion of the above-named studies on west coast fishes; (b) the Chilean monograph; and (c) the fishes of the highlands of the Peruvian, Bolivian, and Chilean Andes. The first and second-named objectives were carried out principally by Prof. Eigen mann. Through the generous cooperation of the University of Illinois I was able to have a part in the expedition, giving my time principally to the third objective named above. Through the first portion of the journey Prof. Eigenmann was accompanied by his daughter Adele; on the second portion he was unaccompanied. After trying his hand at exploration in the highlands, at Oroya, 12000 feet, and about Cerro de Pasco, 9000 - 14000 feet, and descending the Urubamba from La Raya, 14000 down to Santa Ana, 3000 feet, Dr. Eigenmann found he must re linquish the high mountains in my favor by reasons of health. For the remainder of the time my apportionment was the third objective mentioned above. In addition to studies of fishes, I collected parasitological materials for the University Of Illinois; earthworms and freshwater sponges being also on the list of desiderata. Later, 1920, I was sent as traveling fellow of Indiana University to continue exploration on down the eastern slopes of the Andes to the Amazon. Collections made on that, the Centennial, expedition are the principal basis of the present volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fishes of the West Coast of Peru and the Titicaca Basin While engaged in 1907 and 1908 under the auspices of the Peruvian Government in an investigation of the fisheries and fishery resources of Peru, Dr. Robert E.Coker embraced the opportunity to make collections of the fishes inhabiting the streams and coastal waters of that country. The principal localities in which collections were made are Ancon, Eten, Callao, Capon, Chimbote, Chincha Island, Guanape North Island, Lake Titicaca, Lima market, Lobos de Afuera, Lobos de Tierra, Mollendo, Pacasmayo, Paita, Rimac River, Santa Rosa Island, Tumbes and Tumbes River, and Ballestas Island. The largest number of species (28) was obtained at Lobos de Afuera. These collections were turned over to the present writers for study and the preparation of a report thereon. They represent, in the aggregate, the largest and most important collection of fishes ever obtained in those waters. The total number of specimens somewhat exceeds 500. The number of species represented is 120, of which 12 appear to be new. In the present report the authors have included not only the species represented in Doctor Coker's collections, but all others previously actually recorded from the Pacific coast and drainage of Peru and from the Titicaca Basin. This brings the total number of species known from Peruvian waters to 187. Through the generosity of the Peruvian Government the authors are able to include illustrations from original drawings of 40 of the species. The collections are now deposited in the United States National Museum. The original drawings were made by Mr. Kako Morita and Miss Violet Dandridge.
