Genus 1.—DECAPTERUS. 
1. Decapterus punctatus (W.). 
2. Decapterus scombrinus (P.). (Doubtful species; perhaps identical with D. punce- 
tatus. ) 
3. Decapterus sanciw helenw (W.). (Insufficiently described. ) 
4. Decapterus hypodus (P.). (Probably a variety of, or identical with, D. maca- 
rellus. ) 
5. Decapterus macarellus (W.). 
Genus 2.—TRACHURUS. (Perhaps unworthy of retention. ) 
- Trachurus picturatus (A. P. ). 
» Trachurus saurus (A. W.). (Name to be retained somewhat questionable. ) 
i Sor) 
Genus 3.—CARANX. 
8. Caranx crumenophthalmus (A.W.P.). (Originally described from Africa; if Amer- 
ican type should prove different it would stand as C. plumieri.) 
9. Caranx amblyrhynchus (W.). (Possibly includes two species—amblyrhynchus and 
secundus. ) 
10. Caranz atrimanus (P. ). 
11. Caranx vinctus (P.). 
12. Caranz leucurus (P.). 
13. Caranz dentex (A. W.). (Should perhaps stand as C. ascensionis.) 
14. Caranx platessa (P.E.). (Probably not different from C. dentex; possibly the 
Chilian form is distinct both from dentex and platessa, and should stand as 
C. chilensis. ) 
15. Caranz ruber (W.). (Name objectionable; possibly more than one species has 
been included by us. Cibi, iridinus, and beani are all possibly distinct from 
ruber, but not probably.) 
16. Caranz caballus (P.). (The name C. girardi is of same year; we are not sure which 
is entitled to priority.) 
17. Caranx chrysus (W.). 
18. Caran latus (W.P.E.). (Name to be adopted not definitely settled, some other 
names of more or less doubtful application being older. ) 
19. Caranz hippos (W.P.E. A. ). 
20. Caranx lugubris (W.P.E.). 
21. Caranx melampygus (P. E. ). 
22. Caranex speciosus (P. E.). 
23. Caranx orthogrammus (P.). (Possibly identical with C. ferdau.) 
24. Caranx otrynter (P.). (The name dorsalis should be retained if the subgenus 
Vomer be recognized as a genus distinct from Caranz.) 
25. Caranx erinitus (W.P.). (Probably identical with C. ciliaris, which in turn is 
probably the young of C. gallus.) 
26. Caranz setipinnis (A. W.P.). (Possibly separable generically from Caranz ; possi- 
bly includes three species, setipinnis, gabonensis, and dorsalis. ) 
Genus 4.—SELENE. (Possibly unworthy of retention. ) 
27. Selen cerstedi (P.). 
28. Selene vomer (W. P.). 
Genus 5.—CHLOROSCOMBRUS. 
29. Chloroscombrus chrysurus (A. W.). 
30. Chloroscombrus stirurus (P.). (Perhaps to be considered a geographical variety of 
; 
C. chrysurus.)
