The chief genera are the following : 



SERIOLA. 



Siinonijmy. 



< Seriola, Ciivier, Eeguo Auimal, 2e ed., t. 2 p. — , 1829. (Not Seriola Cass.) 



< Seriola, Cur. .j- Val., Hist. Nat. des Poissous. v. 0, p. 200, 1833. 



< Seriola, Giinthcr, Cat. Fishes in Brit. Mus., v. 2, p. 462, 1860. 



= Halatractus, Gill, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Pliila. [v. 14], p. 442, 1862. 

 Scomber sp., MitchiU, etc. 



In returning to the name Seriola and abandoning Ilalatractm, I defer 

 to the majority of naturalists, who consider that the same name may be 

 used without interference in zoology and botany.
