of these common names, tlie identification of Lahrns grisens with Lut- 

 janus caballerote is warranted. 



The name caballerote {AntJiias caballerote Bloch & Schneider) rests 

 on a basis precisely similar, inasmuch as the cabellerote of Parra could 

 not be certainly identified were it not that the same fish is still called 

 Cahallerote by all Spanish fishermen at Cuba and Key West. The 

 species is, in Florida, also often known as Gray Snapi^er, a fact which 

 'tends to increase the propriety of the name griseiis. 



"18. Turdus Rhomboidalis (the Taj^g) =^ Acanthurus cccruleus. (Tab. 10, f. 1.) 



Basis in part of Chivtodon cceritleus Bloch. Little exact as this figure 

 is, there can be no question as to its identification. 



19. Turdus cauda coiivexa (the Yr.i.i.O'W-Fisu.) ^ Epinephclus fulvus (L.), yellow 

 variety). (Tab. 10, f. 2.) 



Basi>s of Lab riis fulvtis, L., S, N., ed. X, 287. 



There is no doubt that Goode is right in identifying this figure with 

 the yellow variety of Serranus onatalibi C. & V., or Serrauns guativere 

 C. & V. It is the Guativere Amarilla of the Cuban fishermen. Both 

 as regards form and coloration, this drawing is more exact than is usual 

 with Catesby. 



The name fulviis has i)riority over jpiinctatus L., above noticed, and 

 over all others, for this si)epies, which must therefore stand as Epine- 

 plwlus (or Enncacentrus) fulvus, the scarlet form being var. ouatalibi C. 

 & v., and the brown form xar. punctatus L. 



20. Turdus flavus (the Hog-fish) = Bodianua rtifiis (L.). (Tab. 11, f. 1.) 



Type of Labrus rufiis. L., S. N. , ed. X, 284. J 



The name r'ufus has been long since adopted for this species, which is 

 now generally known as the Spanish Hog-fish. Catesby's figure is not 

 ti bad one, although not doing justice to the bright coloration of the | 

 species. 



21. Turdeuscinereuspeltatus (the Shad) = Gerres cinereus (Wall).). (Tab. 11, f. 2.) 



Type of Mugil ciHfreus, Walbaum, Artedi Piscium, 179"i, 228. 

 This picture is a fair representation of the common " Broad Sbad" of 

 the Florida Keys and Bahamas {=Gerres aprion C. & B. ;= Gerres zebra 

 M. & T. ; z=Gerres squamipinnis Giiuther). No other species of " Shad" 

 [Gerres) with a low dorsal fin reaches anything like the dimensions of 

 Catesby's figure. The latter cannot, then, be identified with G. gula, G. 

 gracilis, or G. lefroyi. 



22. Turdirs Oculo radiato (the Puddixg-wifk) =: Plutn(/1ossus racViatus, (L.). {Tab. 



12, f. 1.) 

 Basis of ia&rws radiafi/s, L., S. N.,t<l X, 28-i. 



In the twelfth edition of the Systen)a Naturae it is erroneously referred 

 by Liunseus to the synonymy of his Sparvs radiutns, there described
