Habitat. — High seas. ♦ 



It will be thus seen that twelve uomiiial species were based on s])eci- 

 niens of this one by Cuvier and Valenciennes, and nine by Dr. (xiin- 

 tlier, who referred some to the family Carangidie because they were sup- 

 posed to have 24 (10 + 14) vertebne, and one to the family Scombridae, 

 because the skeleton in the B. M. had 2(5 (10 + 14) vertebrae, I dem- 

 onstrated in 1SG2 that all such forms belonged to one species, and the 

 truth of this has been generally recognized since.
