This handsome species is rather common in the waters of Southern 
Europe. Our specimens are from Venice and Palermo.

Umbrina reedi Giinther, Shore Fishes, Challenger, 25, plate xiii, fig. B, 1880 (Juan

Habitat.—Coast of Chili. 
We know this species from Giinther’s description only.

Fish. North Am., 323, 1846 (copied). Poey, Enumeratio, 48, 1875 (Cuba), 
Habitat.—W est Indian Fauna; Florida to Brazil. 
This species is known to us from two specimens taken by Dr. J. A. 
Henshall in the Indian River, Florida. These agree on the whole bet- 
ter with Umbrina coroides ©. & V., than with Umbrina broussoneti; 
but we think that Dr. Giinther is probably right in regarding the two 
nominal species as identical. 
We have also examined specimens from Jérémie, Hayti, and from- 
Pernambuco in the museum at Cambridge.
