•' This species is usually called Roccus lintatus after Scisrna lineata Bloch (Ausliindische Fisclie, VI, 

 1792, 62); but it can not be the same. The form, serrse of the preopercle, and the stout spines of the fin, 

 as well as the asserted locality ("Mediterranean") indicate that the species concerned is DicentraTchus 

 lupu$ of Europe. The only resemblance to Roccut is found in the striped color; but Uloch says that the 

 ■tripes on the sides are yellow.
