Figure 15. — Distribution of Cololabis saira and of Scomberesox saurus in the Western Hemisphere. Solid circles represent material of 

 C.saira in the North Pacific, S. saurus scombroides in the South Pacific, andS. s. saurus in the extreme northeastern Atlantic Oceans 

 examined by us. For the two areas bounded by heavy lines the records for C. saira would virtually blacken the areas and are omitted. 

 Solid triangles refer to mapped records by Ueyanagi etal. ( 1972) for C. saira in the North Pacific and for S s. scombroides in the .south; 

 small open circles represent both published and unpublished records of S. s. scombroides by Parin; large open circles are for other 

 published records; open diamonds refer to records by Ahlstrom (1972). The question mark near 'i'raits of Magellan refers to Lonnberg's 

 (1907) record for a scomberesocid. The large open hexagon near New Guinea refers to the record of C, saira by Kailola (1974), 



Magellan (Figure 15) refers to a statement by 

 Lonnberg (1907) in a report on fishes from the 

 Straits (Smyth Channel, Eden Harbor): "In der 

 Sammlung befanden sich ausser den oben au- 

 fgefiihrten Spezies [Macruronus magellanicus n. 

 sp. I noch Junge von mehreren Arten, die sich 

 wegen der Jugend der Examplare nicht bestim- 



men liessen. Unter diesen fanden sich auch einige 

 Reprasentanten fiir Scorn beresociihte . so dass sich 

 die Zugehorigkcit dieser Familie zu der 

 magalhaensischen Fauna als sicher annehmen 

 lasst." We question Lonnberg's identification of 

 "Scomberesocidae" at a locahty so far south, but 

 we are at a loss to know with what other species his
