ADDENDA 



Subsequent to submission of the manuscript for 

 publication, additional specimens were examined 

 and records obtained that warrant comment. 



Six specimens of erysos between 210 mm. and 

 240 mm. standard length, that were caught from 

 a pier at Pensacola Beach, Fla., July 1, 1958, had 

 enlarged gonads (3 males and 3 females) ; but the 

 gonads were not as large or as well-developed as 

 those previously described from specimens of 



erysos taken offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Body 

 bars were visible on the two smallest fish, 210 

 mm. and 220 mm., when they were caught, but 

 the fish were dead and the bars had disappeared 

 within 5 minutes after the fish had been pulled 

 out of the water. 



An 11.0-mm. specimen of ruber (SAFI collec- 

 tion) is slightly smaller than the smallest specimen 

 previously known to be available. It is similar in 

 proportions and pigmentation to the 12.4-mm. 

 ruber of figure 34. 



Comparison of measurements of four large 

 specimens of latus, 259 mm. (UF collection), 319 

 mm. (CNHM 39717), 478 mm. (CNHM 46773), 

 and 602 mm. standard length (CNHM 46772), 

 with growth trends of the smaller specimens 

 indicates that: The third dorsal spine length- 

 standard length regression is generally stable 

 from about 130 to 319 mm. standard length, but 

 a decrease in spine growth rate has occurred by 

 478 mm. The first dorsal soft-ray length-stand- 

 ard length regression is essentially unchanged 

 from 40 to 602 mm. The body depth at pelvic- 

 standard length regression is changed with a 

 decrease in depth growth rate occurring between 

 170 mm. and 259 mm. The snout length-stand- 

 ard length regression remains generally stable 

 from 16 to 602 mm. The eye diameter-standard 

 length regression is apparently changed between 

 170 mm. and 259 mm. with a subsequently slower 

 eye growth rate. 



The recent acquisition of three small specimens, 

 11.0 mm. (SAFI collection), 12.8 mm. (UF col- 

 lection), and 14.2 mm. standard length (SAFI 

 collection), will be useful in later analysis of 

 differences in larval and early juvenile latus and 

 hippos; but a larger series still is needed: (1) 

 The 11.0-mm. specimen is identified as Caranx 

 sp. ("latus and/or hippos"). Depth at pelvic, 6.2 

 mm. Third dorsal spine length, 1.94 mm. 

 Second anal spine length, 1.0 mm. Preopercular- 

 angle spine length, 0.35 mm. Dorsal and anal 

 soft-rays, 20 and 16. Preopercular upper-limb 

 and lower-limb spines, and 4. The straight 

 part of the lateral line is prominent, but the 

 curved part is indistinct. No "completely devel- 

 oped scutes" are present. The interneural and 

 interhemal spines have not protruded above the 

 body surface. The body is densely pigmented 

 except for areas below and beneath the pectoral, 

 and on the peduncle; the first dorsal fin is densely
