the Hawaiian fish (D. 22, A. 16). The anal in the American fish 

 is golden yellow in life. 



CARANX IGNOBILIS (Forskal). 



This common species, the Pau'u'u, is known from other Hawaiian 

 forms of Caranx by the naked breast with a small patch of scales 

 in the center as in its Atlantic analogue, Caranx hippos (Linnaeus). 

 In the life the pectoral and ventral fins are pale, both dorsals and 

 caudal edged with blackish, the anal and lower lobe of caudal bright 

 yellow, no black spot on lower rays of pectoral. 



This fish is very close to Caranx hippos^ but in that species the 

 adult always has a black blotch on the lower part of the pectoral. 



CARANX XANTHOPYGUS Cuvier and Valenciennes. 



Doctor Wakiya regards Caranx rhabdotus Jenkins as identical 

 with Caranx xanthopygus which is not unlikely. He regards 

 Caranx sexfasciatus Quoy and Gaimard as a distinct species identi- 

 cal w4th Caranx flavocoeruleus Schlegel of Japan. 



CARANX KUHLII Bleeker. 



To the list from Hawaii, Mr. Fowler adds Caranx kuhlii Bleeker, 

 an ally of Caranx marginatus. 



CARANX LUGUBRIS Poey. 



Prowler adds this West Indian species also to the fauna of Hawaii. 

 The body and fins, the pectoral excepted, are sooty black. The fish 

 Avas obtained from the Clarion Island, but the Pacific form needs 

 farther comparison with the types from Cuba. 



Genus URASPIS Bleeker 



Teeth in the jaws in a single series, none on vomer or palatines, 

 spines on scutes directed forward. 



URASPIS HELVOLA (Forster). 



This species is referred to by Wakiya to the genus JJraspis. 



URASPIS CHEILIO (Snyder). 



This species, notable for its thick lips, reaches a length of 3 feet 

 or more. It was three times seen in the market, but owing to its- 

 large size only the head of one example was taken away. Only the 

 type, 30 inches long, was previously known. 



Genus CARANGOIDES Bleeker 



Teeth small, even, persistent; lateral line little arched anteriorly; 

 breast naked. 



CARANGOIDES JORDANI Nichols. 



(CarangoUlcs ferdau Jordan and Evermann, not Scomber ferdau Forskal.) 



This species, the Ulua Omilu of fishermen is an important food 

 fish of Honolulu, reaching a considerable size. It is distinguished
