142 ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS VOL. 9 



on the basis of the Pacific species, M. cyanellus. It is shown that Mugilops 

 Meek and Hildebrand is a synonym of Melanorhinus, that Mugilops 

 marinus Meek and Hildebrand of the Caribbean is probably a synonym 

 of Melanorhinus boekei Metzelaar, and that Mugilops cyanellus Meek 

 and Hildebrand must be known as Melanorhinus cyanellus. The new 

 subfamily Melanorhininae is erected for Melanorhinus. 



A description of the technique of night-fishing under an electric light 

 rigged over the side of a ship at anchor or drifting is included.
