38 FISHES OF HAVANA, CUBA. 



58. Chloroscombrus chry-surus Liniui'iiH. Casabe. 



59. Trachynotiis ihomboides Blocli. Palomcla. 



(Traclniiiotu^i ovaliia Pocy.) 



As already stated by Meek & Gos-s, tlio Trachynotus carolinvs of Poe 

 is tlie species for wbicli tbese \vriters bave adopted tbe name of Track, 

 nottis rliodopns GilL Tbe true T. caroHnus bas not yet been fouDd i 

 Cuba. 



60. Oligoplites saurus, Bloch & Schneider. Znpafero. 



{Oligoplifcs occidentaUs Poey.) 



CORYPHiENIDJB. 



61. Coryphaena hipptirus L. Dorado. 



PEMPHERIDiE. 



62. Peinpheris schoniburgki Muller & Tro.scliel. Calahifa da lo Alto. 



(remplieris vuiUeri Poey.) 



Four examples obtained. Tbe.se ajjfree well witb Poey's descjiptio 

 of Pempheris muUeri and also fairly witb Steindacbiier's description < 

 PemjjJieris schomhurfjlH, botb of tbese accounts bein^' from Cuban spec 

 mens. Tbe original description of Pempheris sehomhin-f/l-i is very bri* 

 and inadequate, but as it agrees tolerably well witb tbe])resent specie 

 it seems necessary to regard it as identical witb it. PempherU poe. 

 Bean appears to be unquestionably diliterent. 



Ininy Catalogue of tbe Fisbesof tbe Pacific Coast of tbe United State 

 in tbecurrent volume of tbese Proceedings, I bave inadvertently omitte 

 Pempheriti mexieanm, described from Acapulco by Cuvier & Valencienne 

 An unnamed species of J//t7'o.s'2>rt///of^?ow, obtained by Professor Gilbei 

 at Panama, .sbould also bave been included. 



HOLOCENTRIDiE. 



63. Holoceiitrum ascensione O.slx'ck, CaydjinJo. 



(Holocoilnim malajuflo Po(\V-) 



Tliis species exbibits mucb variation in tbe deptb of tbe body and i 

 tbe prolongation of tbe soft parts of tbe vertical fins. None of tbe ni 

 merous species described by Poey seem to be identical witb R. ascension 

 but I doubt if all are di.stiuct from eacli otber. 



In life tbis iisb is brigbt silvery red witb jtearly streaks above alon 

 tbe rows of scales ; some specimens somewbat darker and tinged wit 

 olive above. Head quite red above. Fins ligbt red, tbe spinous dors! 

 largely golden oli\e, it.s edge scarlet. An oblique wbite stripe acroi 

 tbe cbeeks, disa])pearing in alcobol. 



64. Myriopristis jacobus Cuv. & Val. Candil. 



{Mjiriojjiistis lyckiiKS Poey.) 



My numerous specimens of tbis beautiful fi.sb agree fairly well wit 

 the accounts of M. jacobus, and 1 feel warranted in regarding M. lychni
