PEOOEEDINQS OT THE 



(Linnean name.) (Modern name.) 



Pristipoma virginicum, L. 



(147) Skin, 9 in. long, much broken. 

 Garden's number on specimen : jS'o. 10. 



Referred to in Garden's letter as " 10. Pork-fish," Corresp. 

 Linn. i. p. 332. 



Mentioned by Goode & Bean, p. 199. 



Haemulon elegans, C. V. 



Hcemulon sciurus, iShaw, Jordan. 



(148) Skin, 12 in. long, much broken. 

 Garden's number on specimen : No. 4. 



lleferred to in Garden's letter as " 4. Yellow Grunt," 

 Corresp. Linn. i. p. 331. 



Identified by Goode & Bean, p. 207. 



Haemulon xanthopteruni, C. V. 



HcemuJon flavolineatum, Desm., Jordan. 



(149) Skin, 1^ in. long, in bad condition, without anal fin. 

 Garden's writing on the specimen is nearly eff'aced, only 



the word " Grunt ' remaining on the tail. 



Referred to in Garden's letter as " No. 9. Small White 

 Grunt," Corresp. Linn. i. p. 331. 



Mounted by Linne on the same sheet of paper as Serranus 

 ajoua (no. 146). 



(150) Skin, 7 in. long, in good condition. 



Garden wrote " (jrunt" on the body; it was probably sent 

 to make up for the mutilated condition of the preceding 

 specimen. 



Haemulon gibbosum, Walb., 



Schn., Jordan. 



(151) Skin, 14| in. long, in good condition, 

 Garden's number en specimen : No. 3. 



Referred to in Garden's letter as " 3. Marget Fish." The 

 same species is figured by Catesby under the same vernacular 

 name (ii. t. 2. f. 1), which figure Linne erroneously associated 

 with his Perca chrysoptera. 



Identified by Goode & Bean (p. 207) with Ec^mvhn 

 arcuatum, C. V. ; however, Jordan (Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 

 1885, p. 191 ; 1886, p. 396) has shown that the "Margate 

 Pish " of Catesby and Garden is Perca gihhosa of Walbaum 

 and Calliodon gibbosus of Schneid., and that HcemuJon album, 

 C. v., and Hcemulon micropTiihnlmum, Giinth., are identical 

 with it (Pish. N. Amer. ii. p. 1295), I am inclined to agree 

 ■with him in these identifications ; only remarking that in 

 specimens of H. album, and H. microphthalmum from the West 

 Indies the eleventh and twelfth dorsal spines are equally 

 short, whilst in Garden's specimen the eleventh is the shortest 

 epme, only half as long as the twelfth.
