JORDAN AND JORDAN: FISHES OF HAWAII. 41 



256. Carangoides evermanni Nichols. 



One specimen placed in the hands of Mr. Nichols, who regards the Hawaiian 

 form as a subspecies of the preceding. 



257. Carangoides ajax Snyder. (J. & E., p. 200.) 



A huge fish of peculiar form, notable for the small number of its fin-rays. 

 Taken but once in Honolulu. 



Alectis Rafinesque. 



258. Alectisciliaris (Bloch). Ulua kihikihi. (J. & E., p. 200.) 

 Not rare. 



259. Alectis indicus (Riippell). 



A huge example, over two feet long, looking different from the .small ones 

 called ciliaris, was taken in the market. The relation of these two forms is yet 

 to be established. 



Gnathanodon Bleeker. 

 Jaws toothless; small teeth on tongue. 



260. Gnathanodon speciosus (Forskal). Pdopdo; Ulua paini. (J. & E., p. 197.) 

 Common in the markets of Honolulu, as well as throughout the South Seas. 



Family LXVIII. KUHLIID^ (Seseles). 



Kuhlia Gill. 



{Moronopsis Gill; Boulengerina Fowler, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1906, p. 572. 



Type Dules mato Lesson = Dules malo Cuv. & Val.) 



§ Kuhlia. 



261. Kuhlia malo (Cuvier and Valenciennes). Aholehole. (J. & E., p. 207.) 

 Common in all running streams and descending to estuaries. The Hawaiian 



fish, called sandvicensis by Steindachner, needs further comparison with the original 

 malo from Tahiti. Although the name Dules mato of Lesson, 1830, has apparent 

 priority over Dules malo of Cuvier and Valenciennes, nevertheless the fact that 

 Lesson quotes the latter in synonymy with the correct page shows that his report 

 on the Voyage de la Coquille is later in date than Vol. VII of the Hisioire des 

 Poissons. The reference to Boulengerina on p. 507 of Jordan's "Genera of Fishes" 

 is erroneous, and should be cancelled. 



§§ Safole Jordan. 

 (Proc. U. S. N. M., 1912, p. 655. Type Dules tamiurus Cuv. & Val.)
