 Mazatlan to Panama.

 lena Bay to Panama. 



3 Trachynotus arc/enteiis Cuv. & Val., VIII, 413. According to Dr. Bean, this is prob- 

 ably a valid species, allied to T. carolinus, but with the body deeper, the depth being 

 half the length wirhont caudal. Now York. 



A review of the American species of Tracltijnotus is given by Meek and Goss in the 

 Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1884. 



"•The species called in the synopsis " Tracliynotus goreensis" .should stand as Trachy- 

 notus rhodopns Gill. Permit. Palometa. West Indies, north to Florida and Lower 

 California. Instead of the synonymy in the synopsis read : Trachiinotusrhodojnis (yoang) 

 and T. nasutus (very young) Gill, Proc. Ac, Nat. Sci. Phila, 1863, 85 ; Trachynotus goreen- 

 sis Giintber, II, 483, in part, not of Cuv. & Val. ; Trachynotus goreensis of recent Ameri- 

 can writers ; Trachynotus carolinus Poey, Enum. Pise. Cubens., 86. 



This species reaches a larger size than the others in our waters. It has fewer fin 

 rays than T. caroUfius, and young and old are much more elongate than in T. rhom- 

 boides or than in the African T. goreensis.

Grayish ; silvery below ; a gilt band through eye to base of caudal ; another through 

 temporal regiou to front of soft dorsal ; no dark cross-bands ; fins plain. Very close 

 to S. lalandi, but reaching a smaller size, and with the body deeper and little com-
