Title: Annals of the Cape Provincial Museums. Volume 16. Part 8. A History of the Collection of Freshwater Fishes and a Catalogue of the Types of Freshwater Fishes in the Albany Museum, Grahamstown.
Description: Cape Provincial Museum, Albany Museum, Grahamstown, Natural History. Volume 16. Part 8. 7th December 1987. Stapled wraps, p179-p189. illustrated, 184mm wide x 240mm high. New unread copy. The aims of this paper are to present briefly the history of the fish collection in the Albany Museum and to catalogue its present type holdings. The present collection is a comparatively recent development and its type holdings have not yet been published. A number of earlier types of both marine and freshwater fishes which were originally in the museum are no longer housed there and it is therefore necessary to clarify which types are present. The present type holdings post-date the South African Museums Association (1958, 1962) list of zoological and botanical types preserved in collections in southern and east Africa.
