EDIBLE FISHES OF QUEENSLAND.— OGILBY. 93 



as to whence he received his information; however, it is possible to state that 

 the first record is authentic, but the second doubtful, as also is his Port Moresby 

 record, both these referring with quite as much likelihood to A. indica as to this 

 species. Fraser lists Caranx gallus from West Australia but omits A. ciliaris, 

 but here again the identification is untrustworthy, though indications point to 

 both species occurring. Turning westward we find it recorded from the Moluccas 

 (Valenciennes) , Amboina, Celebes, Bali, and Java (Bleeker), Sumatra. (Park), 

 Philippines (Snyder), Andamans (Day), and onward through the Indian Seas 

 to the Persian Gulf (Boulenger) , Red Sea (Bilppell), and East Coast of Africa 

 (Gunther). Northward it occurs throughout the China Seas to Japan; while 

 eastward it has been reported from the Solomon and Pelew Groups, Kingsmill 

 Island, and the Hawaiian Archipelago (Gunther) even to the coasts of Lower 

 California (Gill as Blepharichthys crinitus) and Mexico (Jordan & Evermann) . 

 The "West Atlantic form has been recorded from Cape Cod, Mass. (Jordan & 

 Evermann) southward to the West Indies — Martinique (Valenciennes) , Cuba 

 (Sagra), and Jamaica (Jordan & Butter) — and South America (Brit. Mus.). 



Dimensions : — Attains a length of at least 350 millim. 



Illustration : — We have to thank the authorities of the Australian Museum 

 for permitting to our artist the use of an adult specimen for our illustration.
