JORDAN AND JORDAN: FISHES OP HAWAII. 37 



Family LXVII. CARANGID.E fCavallas). 

 The tropical species of this family are widely spread and very closely related 

 among themselves. Our collections from Hawaii have been sent to Mr. John T. 

 Nichols of the American Museum of Natural History to be used in a proposed 

 monograph of the group. The present list is therefore tentative, based mainly 

 on the account given by Jordan and Evermann, and liable after revision to undergo 

 considerable change. A few indications given in a letter from Mr. Nichols are 

 here accepted, as also the identification of Caranx bixanthopterus made in an un- 

 published paper by Yosiro Wakiya. 



ScoMBEROiDES Laccpede (Leather-jackets). 



233. Scomberoides tolooparah (Rtippell). Laii. (J. & E., p. 180.) 



The species doubtfully listed under this name is common at Honolulu. 



234. Scomberoides sancti-petri (Cuvier and A'alenciennes). (J. & E., p. 181.) 

 Not common; the identification uncertain. 



Naucrates Rafinesque. 



235. Naucrates ductor (Lacepede). (J. & E., p. 182.) 



Very rare. The Pacific form, Naucrates indicus (Lesson), needs comparison 

 with the pelagic form from the Atlantic. 



Seriola Cuvier (Amber-fishes). 



236. Seriola purpurascens Temminck and Schlegel. Kahdla; Pdakahdla. (J. & 

 E., p. 183.) 



Supposed to be identical with the Japanese species. 



237. Seriola sparna Jenkins. Kahdla opio. (J. & E., p. 184.) 



Rare. One large specimen was seen in the market. It may be the same as 

 Seriola quinqueradiata of Japan. Color plain, without lateral stripes, and the fins 

 rather low. 



Elagatis Bennett (Runners). 

 (Irex Valenciennes.) 



238. Elagatis bipinnatulus (Quoy and Gaimard). (J. & E., p. 185.) 



One fine specimen taken by us in Honolulu. I fail to find that the Atlantic 

 species, E. pinnatulus (Poey), differs from E. bipinnatulus of the Pacific. 



Decapterus Bleeker. 



239. Decapterus pinnatulus (Eydoux and Souleyet). Opelu. (J. & E., p. 186.) 

 Very abundant in the Honolulu market in August. It is sometimes canned 



as "Sardines."
