61 FISHES OF SINALOA. 433 
to see any difference between specimens from the west 
coast and specimens from Havana. 
88. Gnathanodon speciosus (Forskal). MojARRA 
DoRADA. ; , 
Very common in the harbor and estuary, being one ot 
the more valuable food fishes, the flesh being firm and 
delicate. We have compared specimens with others taken 
by Dr. Jenkins at Honolulu and find no difference. We 
have, therefore, no hesitation in continuing to identify our 
species (Caranx panamensis Gill) with this common East 
Indian fish, of which the oldest name is speczosus. 
In life, everywhere deep golden yellow, with black 
cross bands. 
89. Citula dorsalis (Gill). PAmpano. 
Rather common in the estuary. Three specimens 
taken by us, one half-grown and the others adult, the 
change in form being strikingly marked, as will appear 
from the following descriptions: 
Citula dorsalis (half grown) : 
flead@3-; depth 134; D. WIEl,. 19; A. Ih s1507 5, eye 
434 inhead, the orbit 3% ; snout 2% ; pectorals 2% in body, 
+ longer than head; ventrals 3; caudal lobe equal to head; 
dorsal with one long filament, as long as body, reaching 
middle of caudal; anal with one filament; caudal mod- 
erately elongate, the lobes equal; pectoral very long, 
falcate, reaching tenth anal ray; ventrals small, reach- 
ing just past vent. 
Body deep, compressed, rather ovate than angular; 
profile straight from the vertical truncate snout to nape, 
then rounded, ‘then straight to front of dorsal. A nearly 
straight line from chin to front of anal. Eye rather small, 
preorbital deep. Mouth large, the lower jaw included. 
Teeth small, in broad bands on jaws, vomer and palatines,
