ordiuary crumenopMlialmiis. The pectoral is not in the least shorter

22. Caranx caballus Giintlier. 



7570. Five young specimens, about G inches loug, in fair condition. 



23. Caranx crinitus Akerly. 



(Blepharichthys crimtus Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Soi. Pbila. 1^02, 262.) 



31012. One specimen, young, in fair condition. 



24. Trachynotus carolinus (L.) Gill. 



{Traclnjnotus pamimnm Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Pliila. 1862, 262 : TrachynotHS caro- 

 linus Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1863, 84.) 



5085. Seven specimens, the largest 6 inches long. These are not dis- 

 tinguishable from the young of the Atlantic Pompano. 



25. Trachynotus fasciatiis Gill. 



{Trachiinotus fasciatn8(ji\\,'Pvoe,. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1863, 8Q=Traeki/notiis glaucoides 

 Giiutlier, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1864, 150.) 



9647. (Not original type.) An adult example, in good condition. 



26. Seriola dorsalis (Gill) J. & G. 



(Halatracius dorsalis Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1863, 8^ = Seriola lalandiJor. & 

 Gilb. Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 1881, 46. Not of C. *& V.) 



2511. (Type of Hakttractus dorsalis.) A very young example, in good 

 condition, 3^ inches in length. 



The banded coloration of this specimen is usual in immature Seriokc. 

 The large number of dorsal rays distinguishes this species from Seriola 

 mazatlana Steiud. It is apparently the young of the Californian "Yel- 

 low Tail," which we have formerly identified with Seriola lalandi C 

 & V. Until specimens of the two forms can be actually compared, it 

 is better to retain the Pacific species under a separate name as Seriola 

 dorsalis. 



Head 3 J ; depth 4. Tail scarcely carinated ; vertical fins little ele- 

 vated anteriorly, not falcate. Head about one-fourth longer than deep, 

 somewhat carinated at the occiput; (this carina probably disappearing 

 with age). Maxillary 2J in head, reaching nearly to the middle of the 

 pnpil. I>. Vll-I, 37- A. II-I, 21.
