Hepatus HEPATUS. 



Tenthis hepatus Linn., 1766, S. N., 507.

Caranx fallax C. V., 1833, ix, 95. 



Young specimens, with four to six vertical bands, much 

 affected by a wormlike parasite which attaches itself in much 

 the same manner as a myxinoid fish.

 Spanish Wells. 



Seriola lalandi C. V., 1833, ix, 208. 



In shape and proportions young of this species bear resem- 

 blance to S. fasciala of Bloch. S. lalandi is readily distin- 

 guished by the length of the maxillary, which quite reaches a 

 vertical through the middle of the eye, and by the different 

 arrangement of the transverse bands. The bands are rather 

 faint. That from the nape to the eye is moderately distinct. 

 On the body there are five pairs; the first, hardly separated, 

 passes from the nape across the bases of the pectorals; the 

 second crosses from the space between the dorsals to the 

 space between the ventrals and the vent; the third pair goes 

 from the notch in the soft dorsal to the vent; the fourth is 

 just back of the middle of the soft dorsal; and the fifth, the 

 most faint, is at the end of the dorsal. The edges of the fins 

 are darker. The back has a bluish iridescence.
