Sphyraena guachancho Valenriennes. 



One lOyl inches long. A large one seen at St. Kitts was likely 

 S. barracuda (Walbaum). 



Mugil brasiliensis Agassiz. 



Regan, I.e., p. 391. 



Several large gray mullets about 15 inches long, seen in the markets, 

 were likely this species. 



Mugil trichodon Poey. 



Regan, I.e. 



Agonostomus monticola (Bancroft). 



Regan, I.e. 



Agonostomus percoides Giinther. 



Regan, Biol. C. Amer. Pise, 1906-8, p. 69. 



Sarda sarda (Bloch). 

 Several seen in markets, but with the next, not preserved. 



Scomberomorus regalis (Bloch). 



Not uncommon in the market, 



Triohiurus lepturus Linnseus. 



One 19 inches long. 



Oligoplites saurus (Schneider). 



Chorinemus oeeidentalis Giinther, I.e., II, 1860, p. 475. 



Two small ones, 4f and 6f inches long. They agree with large 

 ones from Fort Macon, N. C. The species reaches a large size, 

 examples of about 30 inches in length being seen in the markets. 

 The fins are bright yellow. 



Oligoplites saliens (Bloch). 



One, 11 inches long. This is quite distinct from the preceding, 

 though some writers have suggested they may be identical. 0. 

 saliens has a different physiognomy, less attenuate or with the 

 profile of the lower jaw much more convex. The snout about equals 

 the eye, or longer, in the preceding species, whereas in the present 

 it is a little shorter than the eye. The maxillary extends further 

 back or a little behind the hind eye edge, the suborbital though 

 l)road covers less of the cheek, and the anal is inserted distinctly 

 l^efore the soft dorsal, while in 0. saurus it is inserted opposite. 

 Dorsal and caudal largely edged with dusky. My example agrees 

 in all respects with an example from Rio Janeiro.
