Sciena imberbis Mitchill, Trans. Lit. & Phil. Soc., New York, 411, 1815 (New York). 
Habitat.—South Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States, New 
York to Texas. 
This species is common along our coast, especially to the southward, 
where it one of the largest and most important of the food-fishes. On 
the Texas coast, where it is known as ‘ Red-fish,” or ‘‘ Pescado Col- 
orado, ” it exceeds in economic value all other fishes found there. 
64: SCIZANA HETEROLEPIS. 
Johnius heterolepis Bleeker, Archives Néerlandaises, viii, 1873, with plate (Surinam). 
Habitat.—Surinam. 
We know this species solely from Dr. Bleeker’s account of it. It much 
resembles the species of Ophioscion, but from these it is apparently sep- 
arated by the entire preopercle, which, in the figure, is represented much 
as in Sciena and Johnius.
