406 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. [64] 
Habitat.—Coasts of Southern Europe (said to range southward to the 
Cape of Good Hope). 
Our description of this species is taken from specimens in the museum 
at Cambridge from Cadiz, Spain. 
If the accepted synonymy be correct, and the species found at the 
Cape of Good Hope be identical with the Maigre of Europe, the species 
should stand as Scicna hololepidota. But this identity seems rather 
assumed than proved. The Australian ‘“ Jew-fish,” until lately also 
identified with Sciena aquila, is now recognized as a distinet species 
(Sciena neglecta Ramsay). It is, therefore, not improbable that the form 
. found at the Cape is also different. 
This species reaches a large size. It isin many respects analogous. 
to Sciena ocellata, which species is perhaps its nearest relative among 
the American forms. 
66. SCIZNA DELICIOSA. 
Corvina deliciosa Tschudi, Faun. Peru. tchthyol., 8, 1845 (Peru). 
Sciena deliciosa Giinther, Cat. Fish. Brit. Mus., ii, 295, 1860 (copied). 
Habitat.—Pacific coast of South America, north to Panama. 
This species is said to be one of the most abundant food-fishes on the 
coast of Peru. A great number of specimens are in the museum at 
Cambridge. Most of them are from Callao, but a few from Panama. 
This is a strongly marked species, having no very near relatives any- 
where, and, if the other subgenera are to be noticed, this must form an 
additional one, for which we have suggested the name of Callaus (from 
Callao). It resembles Genyonemus lineatus as much as any of our spe- 
cies, but it reaches a much larger size and it has no barbels. 
67. SCLEINA UMBRA. 
Sciena No. 2 Artedi, Genera, 39; Syn., 65, 1734 (Venice; Rome). 
Sciena umbra Linnus, Syst. Nat,, ed. x, 289, 1758 (based on Artedi). 
Sciena nigra Bloch, Iethyologia, vi, 35, taf. 297, 1792. 
Johnius niger Bloch & Schneider, Syst. Ichth., 76, 1801. 
Corvina nigra Cuy. & Val., and of most recent authors. 
Coracinus chalcis Pallas, Zoographia Rosso-Asiatica, iii, 256, 1811. 
Corvina canariensis Cuv. & Val., Hist. Nat. Poigs., v, 93, 1830 (Canaries), 
Habitat.—Coasts of Southern Europe. 
This species is generally common in the Mediterranean. The speci 
mens examined by us are from Venice. 
As there can be no possible doubt that this is the original Sciena 
umbra of Linneus, we have adopted the name umbra instead of the 
more frequently used name nigra. 
68. SCIZANA SATURNA. 
(RED RoncapDoR, BLACK RONCADOR.) 
Amblodon saturnus Girard, U.S. Pac. R. R. Survey, 98, 1859 (San Diego, California), 
Corvina saturna Giinther, Cat. Fish. Brit. Mus., ii, 288, 1860 (San Diego). Jordan & 
Gilbert, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., 1880, 456 (Santa Barbara, San Pedro, San 
Diego). Jordan & Gilbert, Proc, U.S. Nat. Mus., 1881, 49 (Santa Barbara 
southward). Rosa Smith, West American Scientist, 1885, 47 (San Diego).
