A .specimen. No. 3338, ISi inches long from Acapulco. 



Head 3.04 in length without caudal; depth 2.32; eye 4.44 in head; pre- 

 orbital at narrowest place 5.28 in eye; scales from origin of dorsal downward 

 and backward to lateral line 8, counting one in the lateral line ; from lateral line 

 downward and backward to anal 13; in lateral line 52; dorsal X, I, 175 ; anal 

 III, 9; pectoral 3.09 in length, extending to a line from base of 7th dorsal ray. 

 Scales above lateral line forward are no larger than they are below. 



Anisotremus caesius (,Jord.\n & Gilbert). 



Jordan & Evermann, Bull. 47, U. S. Nat. Mus., 1898, pt. 2, p. 1316. 

 Pomadasys caesius Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1882, 4, p. 383. 



Two specimens, Nos. 3378-9, 71 and 7| inches long from Acapulco. Gilbert 

 and Starks (Mem. Cal. Acad. Sci., 1904, 4, p. 107) state that the maxillary, in 

 their specimens, reaches the middle of eye, instead of not quite to front of eye. 

 In our specimens it just about reaches the front of eye. 



Anisotremus surinamensis (Bloch). 



Jordan & Evermann, Bull. 47, U. S. Nat. Mus., 1898, pt. 2, p. 1318. 

 Lutjanus surinamensis Block, .4us1. Fi.sche, 1791, 5, p. 3, Atlas, pi. 2.53. 



A specimen. No. 3215, M. C. Z. 29671, 12? inches long from Wreck Bay, 

 Chatham Island. 



Head 2.97 in length without caudal; depth 2.23; eye 4.66 in head; pre- 

 orbital at narrowest place 5.60; scales from origin of dorsal downward and 

 backward to lateral line 9, in a perpendicular series 7; from lateral line downward 

 and backward to anal 13; in lateral Hne 52; dorsal XII, I, 16; anal III, 9; pec- 

 toral 3.21 in length, reaches a line from base of 13th dorsal spine; scales a httle 

 larger anteriorly above lateral line, than they are below. The pectoral in this 

 species is not so long as in A. interruptus and the eye is smaller. 



Another specimen No. 3216, 13| inches long from Wreck Bay, Chatham 

 Island.
