is larger, the maxillary 2f in head, instead of 2f ; and the dorsal rays 

 are V-I, 32 or 33. Florida to Brazil ; reaching a large size.

Grayish, paler below; fins blackish; pectoral pale; a very faint 

 olivaceous band from the eye to the nape (corresponding to the black 

 band in S. rivoliana, bnt scarcely visible). Body deep, compressed ; 

 head compressed, not conical, a little longer than deep; snout 2f in 

 head; maxillary reaching front of pupil, 3f in head; occiput somewhat 

 oarinate; caudal keel little developed. Dorsal falcate, its anterior lobe 

 If in head, 2J in base of fin. Head 3f; depth 3f. D. VIII-I, 29; A. 

 II-T, 21. Gulf of Mexico, north to Pensacola. 



(Cuv. & Val. ix, 210 : Giinther, ii, 464 : Seriola bonariensis Goode & Bean, Proc. U. S. 

 Nat. Mus. ii, 1879, 129, not of C. & V. ? It is thought by Dr. Liitken that this species 

 is identical with S. rivoliana, but this identity is not yet proven. S. rivoliana=bona- 

 riensis=l)osci seems to be slenderer, with a distinct black temporal band.) 



Page 445. Instead of Seriola stcarnsi read : 

 7O3. S. carolimensis Holbr. 



This species differs from Seriola dorsalis notably in the larger mouth 

 (maxillary reaching middle of eye, 2% in head, in S. carolinensis ; barely 

 reaching front of pupil, 2f in head, in 8. dorsalis). S. carolinensiSj S. 

 lalandi, and 8. dorsalis have the occipital region broadly rounded in 

 the adult, while in S. sonata it is sharply compressed or carinated at 

 all ages. In 8. sonata, the body is much deeper, the head more obtuse, 

 and the dark bauds in the young fish much blacker.

Page 446. According to Dr. Liitken (Spolia Atlantica, 1880, 603) Ela- 

 gatis pinmdatus Poey (the "Eunner") is identical with Elagatls Mpinnu- 

 latus (Q. & G.) Benn., a species known from the East Indies and the 

 Mediterranean. Eeferences for the latter are: 



(Seriola lipinnulata Quoy & Gaimard, Voy. Uran. Zool. i, 363: Elagatis Upinnulatua 

 Benu. Whaling Voyage, ii, 283 : Serioliclitliys l)ipinnulatus Bleeker, Nat. Tyds. Nederl. 

 Ind. vi, 196 : Serioliclithys lipinnulatus Gunther, ii, 468; the generic name Elagatis be- 

 ing rejected by Dr. Giiuther on account of the prior Elacate.) 



Page 447. In the typical species of Scombroicles the maxillary has a 

 small supplemental bone, of which no trace exists in the American spe- 

 cies or " Oligoplites." The latter group probably merits recognition as
