31. Caranx caballns Gtlir. 



32. Caranx latus Ag. {=fallax C. & V.) 



33. Caranx hippos (Linn.) J. &, G. 



34. Caranx setipinnis (Mitch.) J. & G. 



This species has a well-developed series of spinous plates along the 

 lateral line, as has been already pointed out by Bleeker and Steindach- 

 uer. There seems to be no reason why it should not be referred to 

 Caranx. 



35. Selene vomer (L.) Liitken. 



36. OligopUtes saurus (Bl. & Schn.) J. & G. 



37. Trachynotus rhomboides (Bloch) Cut. & Val. 



Two small specimens, each IJ inches long, differ from an example of 

 the same size from Beaufort, N. C, in the much deeper body (depth If 

 in length), and in the greater development of all the spines. The triple 

 sj^ine at angle of preopercle is conspicuous, and the highest dorsal and 

 anal spines are longer than the soft rays. Body thickly dusted with 

 brown points; dorsal and anal blackish. D. VII-18; A. Ill, 17.

45. Serranus calopteryx Jor. & Gilb. 



Two immature specimens from Panama and Pearl Islands respect- 

 ively. Hitherto recorded only from Mazatlan and the Galapagos Is- 

 lands (as Prionodes fasciatus Jenyns).

53. Pomadasys chalceus (Giinther) J. & G. 



54. Pomadasys brevipinnis (Steind.) J. & G. 



This specimen extends the range of this species from Mazatlan to 

 Panama. It may be noticed that the figure given by Dr. Steindachner 

 (Ichthyol. IS'otiz,, VIII, Taf. 5) is faulty in several respects. Thus the 

 scales with their accompanying dark streaks are represented as oblique 

 below the lateral line, whereas in reality they are horizontal. The inter-
