Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gymnotid Eels of Tropical America
Subsequently all of the Gymnotidae collected by Mr. John D. Haseman of the Carnegie Museum Expedition to Central South America were received for study. As these collections contained several new species and specimens of many little known species, a revision of the entire family was begun. Mr. Haseman visited many new localities, and his collections were of particular value in the study of the geographical distribution of these fishes.
