CARANGIDAE. 



Decapterus punctatus (Agassiz). Robin. 

 Goode, '76 , p. 46. 



Distribution. — Mass. to Brazil. 



D. 3 + 30 (31) ; D. 3 + 25. Sc. 40 about. 



I have four specimens, two taken by Dr. A. S. Bickmore (M. C. Z. No. 

 17,054), and two taken in Harrington Sound in July, 1903. This species is 

 common at times, but it is at other times quite impossible to find a single 

 specimen. They take bait best at night in moderately deep water. 



Seriola zonata (Mitchill). Crevalle. 



Goode, '76% p. 75. 



Distribution. — Massachusetts to the Carolinas. 

 D. 8 + 38; A. 3 + 21. 



One specimen taken on the Challenger Banks. T saw quite a number of 

 these brought in by the Hamilton fishermen. They were usually taken far off 



shore. 



Trachurops crumenophthalmus (Bloch). Goggle-eye. 



Goode, '76' p. 47. 



Distribution. — Coast of Atlantic Ocean (except Europe). Pacific off Central 

 America and Mexico. 



D. 8 + 26; A. 3 + 22. Sc. 36. 



One specimen about two inches long was taken from Sargassum off the 

 Challenger Banks and turned over to me by Professor Mark. The species was 

 very rare at Bermuda all summer. A slightly smaller specimen was taken 

 during Julj% 1904. 



Caranx ruber (Bloch). 



Distribution. — West Indies. 



D. 8 + 27 ; A. 2 + 23. Sc. 30. 



One specimen taken in the tide rush at mouth of Harrington Sound on hook 

 baited with Stolephorus. A second specimen (M. C. Z. 17,360) was taken at 

 Bermuda in 1864 by Capt. Hamilton. This specimen has 31 scutes on the 

 caudal pedicel. 



C hippos (Linne). 



Distribution. — Tropical seas. 



D. 8 + 21; A. 2+ 17. Sc. .30. 



One specimen taken on hook and line in Flatts Inlet in about four feet of 

 water and two specimens from Hamilton (M. C. Z. No. 28,989) are the only 

 representatives of this widely distributed species which I have had an oppor- 

 tunity to examine from Bermuda.
