Abstract:
ABSTRACT: John Edwards Holbrook (1794–1871), best known for North American herpetology, also published several ichthyological works. One of them, an obscure study entitled Southern ichthyology, is important because with that effort Holbrook first demonstrated prowess in the study of fishes, providing a number of species accounts, including descriptions of two new species still considered valid. Because of its rarity and its nomenclatural significance, we furnish an analysis of Southern ichthyology and comment on Holbrook and his other scientific contributions.
