baUeroU, which species is placed by Bloch* under the genus 

 Anthian t and was confounded by Cuvier with liis Mesoprion 



cynodon : the specimen measuring fifteen inches in length; and 



in Ocyurus chrysurus, which is placed by Bloch under his 



genus Sparus^ and by Cuvier among the Mesoprions. I found 



this to be the case in the latter several times, and more especially 



so in a specimen of twenty-one inches. I have forwarded one 



of eighteen inches to Professor Agassiz, Director of the Museum 



omparativc Anatomy of Cambridge. 



In the three species above named the male genital organ and 



female organ present themselves as closely joined one to the 



other. They are readily distinguished by means of their color and 



the granulation. In all instances the milt is in a greater state
