Erase from its synonymy Perea meUnura L. Syst. Nat.” The latter 
is a West Indian species of Biahasis {==Emnulon dorsale Poey). 
Page 548, 549. In all our species of Luijanus the series of scales above 
the lateral line extend obliquely upward and backward, being not 
throughout parallel with it. In L. chrystirus, caxis, stearnsi^ and black- 
fordi, the patch of vomerine teeth is “ anchor-shaped.” In many of the 
other species of the genus the patch of vomerine teeth is Innate, and 
in some the series of scales above the lateral line are parallel with the 
lateral line.
