Body comparatively deep ami coinpressed, the depth 4; scutes 34 to 

 36+36 to 38, the anterior scutes scarcely lower than the posterior, their 

 height three-quarters diameter of eye; length of curve of lateral line 1^ 

 to 1| in straight part; maxillary reaching past front of pupil, 2^ to 2.4 in 

 head; lining of opercle dusky, (.'oasts of Europe; occasional on our

Page 435. Caranx pisquetns is known on the Gulf coast as "Hard-tail' 4 

 or"Jurel"; Decaptentx punctatux as "Cigar-fish". The lateral scutes in 

 Caranx cibi are about 28 in number, as in C. bcani. which is possibly 

 the young of the same species.

Page i.iT. Caranx fallax can hardly be said to have "canine iceth," 

 the teeth being smaller than in C. liippus. 



Page 443. Trochynotus goreensis, the "Permit" of the Florida coast, 

 is probably distinct from T. ovatus, differing in the much more elongate 

 form. It reaches a large size. Tntchynotus ylaucus, the ( iaff-top -sail 

 Pom])ano," rarely grows beyond a foot in length. In the description of 

 tin- latter the words "Lower California" should be erased.
