Distribution. — Coast of Southern Europe, westward to Bermuda. 

 D. 12 + 13 (14); A. 3 + 13 (14). 



One of the commonest shoal water species. It was strangely confused with 

 Kyphosus sectatrix by Goode. 



GERRIDAE. 



Eucinostomus gula (Cuv. & Val.). Shad. 



Goode, '76\ p. 39. 



Distribution. — New York (rarely) to Brazil.

Common, generally associated in small schools with the young of Neomaenis 

 griseus and Mugil brasiliensis. 



KYPHOSIDAE. 



Kyphosus sectatrix (Linne). Chub. 



Pimelepterus boscii (Lacepede). Goode, '76 , p. 52. 



Distribution. — Pelagic in North Atlantic ; West Indies. 

 D. 11 + 12; A. 3 + 11. 



This species may be called an irregular, though usually very common, visitor 

 at Bermuda. 



POMACENTRIDAE. 



Abudefduf saxatilis (Linne). Cow pilot. Sergeant major. 

 Glyphidodon saxatilis (Linne) Cuvier. Goode, '76=*, p. 38.

D. 8 + 13 ; A. 2 + 12 ; 11. 28; Itr. 11 + 5. 



I have about twenty specimens of this species varying in length from a half 

 inch to four inches, the latter being a large one for the shores of Bermuda. 

 I saw a very large specimen in a rock pool at North Rock. Native fishermen 

 state that the species attains a weight of one and one half pounds in the deep 

 water off the Rock. It is very common everywhere. 



Furcaria cyanea Poet. 



Distribution. — Cuba. 



D. 12 + 12; S. 2 + 12. 



A single specimen from Bermuda taken in 1864 by Captain Hamilton 

 (M. C. Z. No. 14,801). I can find no other record for the occurrence of this 

 species except off Cuba.
