Habitat: Bermudas to Brazil. 



Etymology: Striatus, striped. 



This is probably the species indicated by Liiiiifeus under the name 

 Perca striata. The number (13) of dorsal spines and the comparison 

 with P. melanura render it certain that this species, H. rimator^ or 

 H. aurolineatum was intended. Of these, only the present species has 

 the second anal si)ine especially strong {^' vaiidissimioi''''), und to this 

 species the name striatum should apparently be referred. 



The following is Linnteus's account: 



" Striata, 22. P. jnnnis dorsalihus unitis, cauda bifida, corpore strinto. 

 "D. Jf. P. 15. r. i. J. tV- C. 17. 



"Habitat in America scptentrionali. M>ts. de Geer. Opercuhi siibserrata. Eadius 

 secnndus analis validissimns. Cauda nigra non est, qua differt a P. melanura." 



Specimens are in the museum at Cambridge from Havana and Ber- 

 muda.

Habitat : Pacific coast of tropical America, Guaymas to Panama. 



Etymology: Flams, yellow; guttatus, spotted. 



This species is generally common along the Pacific coast of tropical 

 America. It has no analogue among the Atlantic species. On account 

 of the peculiarities of the form of the body, the snout, the mouth, and
