The description is based on eight specimens, 120 to 180 mm. 

 long, from Havana, Trinidad, and Rio de Janeiro (5. an- 

 chovia), several of 110 to 130 mm. from Algiers, the type of 

 8. lemuru from Java (145 mm. long) and two examples from 

 China, 180 mm. long (C. melanosticta, Giinth.). In a very 

 small Ml (7o mm.) I count 80 gill-rakers on the lower part 

 of the anterior arcli. 



The discontinuous distribution of this species is remark- 

 able ; in the Indian Ocean it is represented by the allied 

 S. longiceps.
