ADDENDA 88. SPARIDiE LUTJANUS. 921 



Page 548. Instead of Lufjcmus melanurus read : 



861. L.. clirysurus (Bloch) Vaillaut. 



Erase from its synonymy "Perca melanura L. Syst. ISTat." The latter 

 is a West Indian species of Bidbasis {=^E.cvim(lon dorsale Poey). 



Page 548, 5-49. In all our species of Lufjanua the series of scales above 

 the lateral line extend obliquely uj^ward and backward, befiig not 

 throughout i)arallel with it. In L. chrysurus, caxis, stearnsij and black- 

 fordi, the patch of vomerine teeth is " anchor-shaped." In many of the 

 other species of the genus the patch of voineriue teeth is luuate, and 

 in some tlie series of scales above the lateral line are parallel with the 

 lateral line.
