Jordan and Hubbs: Fishes from Port Said. 463 



This species appears to be common at Port Said. We present a 

 figure of one of the several specimens obtained. The presence in the 

 Mediterranean of this Red Sea species is probably due to its passage 

 through the Suez Canal, an explanation strongly supported by the 

 strictly littoral habits of Atherina. 



Family TRICHIURID^. 

 Genus Trichiurus Linnaeus. 



9. Trichiurus lepturus Linnoeus. 



No. 8oo9a-c, C. M. A common species. 



Family CARANGID^. 

 Genus Glaucus Klein. (In " Neuer Schauplatz" circa 1776.) 



10. Glaucus glaucus (Linnaeus). 



No. 80100-C, C. M. 



This species may be taken as the type of the genus Glaucus Klein 

 (1775) which demands restoration. It prevents the necessity of 

 adopting the name Hypodis Rafinesque, 18 10, also based on Scomber 

 glaucus Linnaeus. Mr. Regan has shown that glaucus cannot remain 

 in the genus Lichia and has transferred it to the genus Trachinotus. 

 It is in fact midway between Lichia and Trachinotus and cannot be 

 placed in either. It is generically identical with the group called 

 Ccesiomorus by Lacepede. The genus Glaucus, older than either 

 Lichia, Trachinotus, or Ccesiomorus, may be regarded as well established, 

 the name replacing Ccesiomorus. 



Family POMATOMID/E. 

 Genus Pomatomus Lacepede. 



11. Pomatomus lophar (Forskal). 

 {Gonenion serra Rafinesque). 

 No. 8oiia, CM. 



Abundant. This species, the representative of the common Blue- 

 fish of the' Atlantic coast of America, is characteristic of the eastern 

 Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and the JEgean Sea, but has not been 

 recorded from the coast of France. Forskal records it as Perca lophar 

 from Constantinople, and Eichwald as Sypterus from the Caucausus. 

 Guichenot records it from Algiers. Rafinesque describes it as Gone-
