OAEANGID^. 



13. Oligoplites occidentalis (Linn.), Gill. — Herring. 



Two or three specimens (No. 23646) in salt from " West Florida." 



14. Trachynotus ovatus (Linn.), Giiuther. 



Six young specimens (No. 23638), 22 millimeters to 32 millimeters 

 long, were obtained at Marquesas Keys, Florida. The radial formulae 

 are as follows : 



(a.) D. ^i, i, 18. A. ii, i, 17. 



(&.) D. vi, i, 18. A. ii, i, 17. 



(c.) D. vi, i, 19. A. ii, i, 18. 



(d.) D. vi, i, 18. A. ii, i, 17. 



(e.) D. vi, i, 18. A. ii, i, 17. 



(/.) D. vi, i, 19. A. ii, i, 17. 



15. Trachynotus goreensis, Cuv. and Val. Permit; Crevall6. 



A large specimen (No. 23647), in salt, about 20 inches long, was sent 

 from West Florida by Dr. Velie. It agrees with the form which we at 

 present call Trachynotus goreensis. 



Several small specimens (No. 23637), 27 millimeters to 50 millimeters 

 long, ai)parently of the same species, were obtained at Marquesas Keys. 

 {a.) D. VI, 1, 19: A. II, 1, 17. (6.) D. VI, 1, 19: A, II, 1, 17. (c.) D. 

 VI, 1,17; A. II, 1, 17. 



The figure given by Girard in the Ichthyology of the Mexican Bound- 

 ary, plate xi, fig. 4, under the name Doliodon carolinus^ is pretty certainly 

 taken from a young specimen of this species, though the number of rays 

 in the dorsal has j^erhaps been changed to make the figure correspond 

 with the description on i)age 22. 



The young T. goreensis is distinguished from T. caroUnus of the same 

 size by the greater height of the spinous dorsal, the smaller number of 

 dorsal and anal rays, and the stronger black blotch upon the lobe of the 

 dorsal.
