Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Museum of Comparative Zo?logy, at Harvard College, Vol. 43
The revision of the American Characidae, based on the collections of the Nathaniel Thayer Brazilian Expedition in the Museum of Comparative Zoology was commenced by Mrs. Rosa Smith Eigenmann and myself in 1888. A little more than a year later the work was temporarily suspended. The published results, so far as obtained, are enumerated on p. 8 - 10. Work was resumed in 1903 with the collections of Indiana University and of the United States National Museum, and a monograph completed in 1906.
