Genus Selar Bleeker. 



51. Selar calla (Cuvier & Valenciennes). 



The name Selar Bleeker may perhaps be retained for the species of 

 this type with oblong body and even teeth. Tricropterus has the 

 teeth uneven, and Carangoides Bleeker, with even teeth, has the back 

 elevated. Caranx, deep-bodied, has no teeth at all. Citula has some 

 of the dorsal spines produced into filaments. 



No. 8065a, C. M. One specimen which compares well with Day's 

 figure and description as well as with a specimen from Hong Kong. 

 The opercular spot at the beginning of the lateral line is very con- 

 spicuous. 



52. Selar ire (Cuvier & Valenciennes), 



No. 8064a, C. M. One specimen, which agrees perfectly with Day's 

 description except that it has a very small patch of scales (less than 

 diameter of pupil in extent) directly in front of the base of the ventral 

 fins. 



53. Selar aflinis (Riippell). 



No. 8064a, C. M. One specimen. We can appreciate no dif- 

 ference between this and examples from Honolulu. The last ray of 

 the dorsal and anal are so modified as almost to appear to be separate 

 finlets; they are, however, connected by membrane to the rest of the 

 fins. 



Genus Citula Quoy & Gaimard. 



54. Citula atropus (Bloch & vSchneider). 



No. 8066a, C. M. A small specimen, four inches long, showing the 

 characteristic cross-bands of the young. 



55. Citula armata (ForskSl). 



No. 8067a, C. M. One specimen agreeing well with Day's descrip- 

 tion and figure, though the first dorsal rays are a little shorter. 



Genus Trachinotus Lacepede. 



56. Trachinotus bailleni (Lacepede). 



No. 8068a, C. M. One specimen six and one-half inches in length.
