[81] REVIEW OF THE SCI@NIDA. 423 
Umbrina roncador Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., 1881, 277 (west coast 
Lower California), Jordan & Gilbert, Syn. Fish. North Am., 576, 1883. Rosa 
Smith, West American Scientist, 1885, 47 (San Diego). 
Habitat.—Coast of Southern California; north to Santa Barbara. 
This species is rather common along the coast of Southern California 
from Santa Barbara as far south as Cerros Island. It is a handsome 
species, brightly colored in life, and of some value as food, 
91. UMBRINA XANTI. 
Umbrina xanti Gill, Proc. Acad.-Nat. Sci. Phila., 1862, 256 (Cape San Lucas). Jor- 
dan & Gilbert, Proc. U. 8S. Nat. Mus., 1882, 363 (Cape San Lucas). Jordan 
& Gilbert, Bull. U. S. Fish Com., 1832, 107 (Mazatlan) and 111 (Panama). 
Gilbert, Bull."U. 8. Nat. Mus., 1882, 112 (Punta Arenas). 
Umbrina analis Giinther, Fishes Central America, 387 and 426, 1869 (Panama). 
Habitat.—Pacific coast of tropical America, Cape San Lucas to Pan- 
ama. 
This species is rather common along the west coast of Mexico, speci- 
mens having been taken by Dr. Gilbert, at Mazatlan, Punta Arenas, 
and Panama. These are identical with Gill’s types of U. xanti and with 
Giinther’s U. analis, both of which have been examined by us. 
92. UMBRINA GALAPAGORUM. 
Umbrina galapagoi'um Steindachner, Ichthyol. Beitr., vii, 20, 1878 (James Island, Gal- 
apagos). 
Habitat.—Galapagos Archipelago. 
This species is known from Dr. Steindachner’s original types, most 
ef which are still in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 
93. UMBRINA DORSALIS. 
Umbrina dorsalis Gill, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1862, 257 (Cape San Lucas). 
Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., 1882, 363 (Cape San Lucas). Jordan 
& Gilbert, Bull. U. S. Fish Com., 1882, 107 (Mazatlan). 
Habitat.—Pacific coast of Mexico. 
This species seems to be rather rare. A large example was taken by 
Dr. Gilbert at Mazatlan, and this has been compared by us with the 
types of U. dorsalis, young examples taken at Cape San Lucas by Mr. 
Xantus. 
Genus XXI.—MENTICIRRHUS. 
Menticirrhus Gill, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1861, 86 (alburnus). 
Cirrimens Gill, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1862, 17 (ophicephalus). 
Umbrula Jordan & Eigenmann, subgenus noy. (littoralis). 
TyPE: Perca alburnus Linneus= Cyprinus americanus Linneus. 
Tis genus is one of the most strongly marked in the family. It has 
been confounded by all European writers with Umbrina, with which it 
has not very much in common except the présence of the barbel at the 
chin. All the species are American, and most of them are closely re-
