Abstract
THE Days of a Man “is the title chosen by Dr. David Starr Jordan for his autobiography. Dr. Jordan, who was born in 1851, has been for many years the leading ichthyologist in America, and is the author of a large number of memoirs on fishes, generally Written in collaboration with his pupils. Of these the best known is the monumental “Fishes of North America” (1896–1900) by Jordan and Evermann, but perhaps his work on the Fishes of Japan marks the greatest advance, for these had been comparatively little studied until his collecting expedition in 1900.
