140 " ENDEAVOUR " SCIENTIFIC RESULTS. 



Genus Ulua, Jordan dh Snyder. 



Ulua mandibularis, Macleay. 



Caranx mandibularis, Macleay, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.WfJes, 

 viii., 1883, p. 356. 



The two typical specimens of this species are preserved 

 in the Macleay Museum, and a co-type is in the Australian 

 Museum. They are very similar to the figure of U. ricJi- 

 ardsonii^, but have the frontal profile a little more convex, 

 the eye larger, and a few more anal rays. Macleay has de- 

 scribed the head as being free from scales, but there are really 

 numerous small scales on the cheeks and upper parts of 

 the opercles. 



Loc- — Port Moresby, British New Guinea. 



Genus Alectis, Rafinesque. 



Alectis indica, Biippell. 



Plumed Trevally : Diamond Fish : Silvery Moon-fish. 



Alectis indica {BoVL])^e\[), Ogilby, Mem. Qld. Mus., iii., 1915, 

 p. 83, pi. xxvi. 



Caranx gallus, Kent, Naturalist in Australia, 1897, p. 153, 

 figure. 



Sixty-three young examples, 100-135 mm. long to the end 

 of the middle caudal rays, agree with an Indian specimen in 

 the Australian Miiseum from Dr. Da3^'s collection ; they are 

 well illustrated by Kent's figure quoted above. They 

 exhibit very little variation, though some are slightly more 

 angular than others ; all have six, more or less distinct, 

 broad, vertical bars crossing the body and tail, and narrower 

 intermediate ones are also often present.
