 to .25 in the young ; top of head .14 to .18 of length ; interorbital space broad, 

 .07 to .08^ of length ; snout rather conical and pointed, .09 of length, blunter 

 in the young; mandible .22 of length in adult, .15 in young: eye small, nearly 

 in a line with the axis of the body : scales very small, similar to those in the 

 other species, in about 230 transverse rows : caudal fin little forked ; adipose 

 fin quite small, shorter than the eye ; pectoral and ventrol fius not elongate : 

 red spots about the size of the pupil, confined to the sides of the body, the

cc. Body oblong or elongate, moderately compressed, not much elevated, the 

 depth .20 to .30 of leugth : head large, but not very long, its length .21 to 

 ,24 of leugth, the top about .14, the rather broad interorbital space about .07: 

 mouth large, the maxillary reaching more or less beyond the eye, about .10 of 

 length; the mandible about .15: eye large, more or leps above the line of the 

 axis of the body: scales very small, in about 230 transverse rows: caudal fin 

 slightly lunate in the adult, forked in the young; adipose fin small; pectoral 

 and ventral fius not especially elongate : red spots on body chiefly confined to 

 the sides, rather less than the size of the pupil ; the back and vertical fins 

 more or less barred or mottled ; coloration often plain in sea-run individuals.

PONTINALIS.t 



The original type of 8. spectabiUs and of 8. camphelU, the latter being 

 merely a substitute name, is still preserved in the National Museum. 

 Although badly decayed, its identity with the species here called spec- 

 tabiUs is evident. The types of 8almo parlcei are now lost, but that the 

 species is the same as ;S^. spectabiUs seems unquestionable. The name 

 spectabiUs should now be retained for this fish, as the spectabiUs of 

 "Valenciennes, being a Solar, belongs to a different genus.
