that, tlie anal fin is dried down in the type, and this character of the 

 anal may have been taken frotii the other specimens* examined by 

 Agassiz, as may also have been the description of the teeth, which are 

 shown larger than in M. liza. The scales in the figure are 35, the 

 depth 4| in the length — both characters agreeing with M. liza. For 

 these reasons I regard our former identificatiou of Mugil hrasUiensis 

 Agassiz with Mugil trichodon Poey as erroneous, and I now consider 

 Miigil liza Cuv. & V"al. (—Mugil lehranchus Poey) as the original Mugil 

 BRASiLiENSis Agassiz. 



17. Caranx bartholomaei. (Cuv. & Val., ix, 100, 1833.) 



One example, 14'" in length, from St. Bartholomew Island. 



As supposed byus,(Proc. U. S. Xat. Mus., 1884, 33), this is fully 

 identical with the Cibi amarillo of the Havana markets, the Caranx 

 cihi of Poey and Caranx heani of Jordan. It has about 28 plates on 

 its lateral line, besides some six smaller scales. It should stand as Car- 

 anx BAETHOLOMiEI. 



18. Caranx sexfasciatus. Quoy & Gaimard (Zool. Voy. Freycinet Poiss., 358, pi. 



65, f. 4, 18-24.) 



This species has been regarded as the young of Caranx latus Agassiz 

 [ — Cfallax C. & v.), and I have lately adopted the name sexfasciatus 

 as a substitute for the latter. 



The name is based on a very poor drawing of the very young of some 

 Caranx., said to be from Papua. The figure shows the dorsal and anal 

 scarcely falcate. D. 22, A. 19; plates about 22. The drawing may rep- 

 resent a young latus, or it may not, and the name sexfasciatus should be 

 regarded as nnidentifiable. The Scoynher Jdeini of Bloch is still less 

 likely to be this fish, which may therefore still stand as Caranx latus 

 Agassiz. 



19. Trachinotus argenteus. (Cuv. & Val., viii, 413, 1831.) 



Specimen .32"^ in length ; America; D. 25, A. 23. Body a little 

 deeper depth 2^^^ (instead of 2f ) than in the ordinary Pompano, which 

 it otherwise entirely resembles. It may stand as Trachinotus caro- 



LINUS. 



20. Trachinotus cayennensis. (Cuv. & Val,, viii, 417, 1831.) 



Very young specimen in poor condition, .06™ long, from Cayenne. 



Form of TracJiinotus ovatus, the body very deep, the snout short and 

 very blunt. Dorsal lobe (in young) 2 in head. Eye very large ; pre- 

 opercle with strong spines. Depth of body 2 in length. D. 27, A. 20. 

 Fins all pale. Apparently a valid species, distinguished from Trachin- 

 otus ovatus by its numerous fin-rays. It will stand as Trachinotus 



CAYENNENSIS. 



21. Trachinotus paitensis. (Cuv. & Val., viii, 438, 1831.) 

 Specimen in poor condition ; .07°^ long ; from Paita, Peru.
