Exocoetus. Notes on »Flying Fish« by Carpenter and by Mitchell. Jordan & Meek 

 (2) give a review of the American species of this genus, which may be regarded as 

 supplementary to Lütken's paper published in 1876. The authors divide the group 

 into 4 genera or subgenera, i. e. Fodiator (g. n.), Parexccoetus, Halocypselus aud 

 Exocoetus. An analytical key is given, by which the genera and species may be 

 distinguished. A list of the nominal species with their identifications is added, 

 and a table shewing their distribution and questions of doubt still remaining to 

 be solved. 1 7 species are admitted and one is renamed E. vinciguerrae.
