Family CARANGIDE. 
79. Oligoplites altus (Giinther). Monpa. 
One large specimen taken by us. Recorded by Dr. 
Gilbert from Mazatlan and Panama. 
80. Oligoplites saurus (Bloch & Schneider). Monpa. 
Common in the harbor of Mazatlan, where it was also 
taken by Gilbert. On comparison of specimens from 
Mazatlan with others from Havana we are unable to find 
any difference whatever. The species called cxornatus 
is therefore fully identical with saurus. 
81. Trachurops crumenophthalmus (Bloch). 
Common in the harbor at Mazatlan, where numerous 
specimens were taken; not recorded by Dr. Gilbert. 
Specimens have been compared with others from Havana 
and no difference of any kind is observable. Tvrachurops 
brachychirus must therefore be regarded as an exact syn- 
onym of Tvrachurops crumenophthalmus. 
82. Caranx vinctus Jordan & Gilbert. 
Rather common in the estuary, where numerous speci- 
mens were taken. The original types were found by 
Gilbert at Mazatlan, and the species has been recorded 
from San Blas and Punta Arenas. 
83. Caranx caballus Giinther. CojINERo. 
Extremely common in the harbor; also found in abun- 
dance by Dr. Gilbert.
