of California. In the description of this species, an accoimt of the teeth 

 has been entirely omitted ! The author adopts the genus Trachurus, and 

 " distinguishes it from Caranx proper by the structiu-e of its lateral 

 line, which is composed of vertical scale-like scvitellffi tliroughout its 

 whole length." The second species of the genus so defined, has " the 

 armature, peculiar to this genus, commencing opposite the anterior 

 margin of the second dorsal fin." (!)
