To Carangoides ferdau jordani, add 7 specimens, 13.5 to 31 mm., 

 collected by the University of Washington on July 26, 1946, between 

 Amen and Bikini islands. 



Dr. Welander stated that "these fish were picked up with a small 

 hand dip net in the area about halfway between Amen Island and 

 Bikini Islands. The small fish were swimming along with the jellyfish 

 and remaining in the immediate vicinity of their tentacles. Each 

 jellyiish seen seemed to have one and occasionally more than one 

 smaU fish in its company." 



This is the first record I have noticed of the association of the 

 young of this species living in association with a jellyfish. The latter 

 was identified by Dr. F. M. Bayer as a Scyphozoan, genus Mastigias 

 Agassiz, It bears USNM 50085 in the division of marine inverte- 

 brates of the U.S. National Museum.
