12. Trachynotus ovatus (L.) Lac. 



30970. One partly grown specimen, in good condition. 



15123. Three very yonng specimens. 



Comiiared with Atlantic specimens of somewhat larger size, Xo. 30970 

 is somewhat deeper (depth If in length, instead of 1^), and the dorsal 

 and anal fins are much less elevated in front (anterior lobe of dorsal 4^ 

 in length; 2^^ in T. ovatus from Cuba). 



13. Caranx dorsalis (Gill) Gthr. 



(Carangoklcs dorsalis Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Pliila. 1863, 166.) 



4957. (Types of Carangoides dorsalis.) Two specimens, in good condi- 

 tion. 



14. Caranx speciosus Lac. 



(Caranx pa7tam&nsi8 Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1863, 166.) 

 309G0. (Type of Caranx panamensis.) One adult specimen, in good 

 condition. 



15. Caranx faUax C. & V. 



{Carangus marginatus Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1863, 166.) 



30958. (Type of Carangus marginatus.) One adult example, in good 

 condition. 



There can be no doubt that Dr. Giinther's identification of Scomber 

 hippos L. with this species is erroneous. 



16. Caranx atrimanus J. & G. 



30745. One specimen, 5^ inches long, in good condition. ' 



17. Rhypticus nigripinnis Gill. 



{Promicro2)ierus decoratus Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1863, 164.) 

 309G1. (Type of Promicropterus decoratus.) One specimen, 8 inches 

 long, in good condition. 



18. Alphestes multiguttatus (Gthr.) J. &, G. 



30988. One specimen, in fair condition, but somewhat faded. 



30954. A young specimen, in good condition. 



This species is closely allied to the West Indian Alpliestes afer Bloch, 

 {Plectropoma chloropterum 0. & V.), but is readily distinguished by the 

 more i)ointed snout and the totally different coloration. 



19. Epinephelus analogus Gill. 



{E2Ji>iephclus analogus Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1863, 163.) 



4944. (Type of Epinephelus analogus.) A half-grown specimen, in good 

 condition. 

 30993. One fine young specimen. 



20. Pomadasys humilis (Kner & Steindachner) J. «& G. 



30957. A fine adult specimen, and one young specimen. 

 The resemblance of this species to Pomadasys crocro (C. & V.) is very 

 close.
