lineolata). 
This species is very common off Point Loma. Many more are taken 
than can be disposed of fresh. It is usually found in schools and ap- 
parently migrates with the barracuda. It is probably found here 
throughout the year, but none were recorded in April or June. It was 
very abundant from July to December, 1889. Toward the latter and 
early part of the year the young occasionally enter the bay. On Jan- 
uary 4, 1890, a few were taken and one young one on the 30th. On 
February 28, six were taken; during March of 1890, four small ones 
were taken on the Ist, while they were abundant and with free flowing 
milt on the 27th of March, 1889.

Gymnosarda pelamys (Linneus), 
E. & E., ’90, 8. 
This is said to be common off Point Loma, but only on two occasions 
were any brought into the San Diego market, 7. e., on October 31 and 
December 15, 1889. 
Trachurus picturatus (Bowdich). 
R. Smith, ’85; E. & E., ’89. 
This species is never abundant at San Diego. The first ones of 1889 
arrived on July 3, and while it was sometimes quite common, especially 
among the catch with hook and line on the wharf, it never reached any 
economic importance. On January 4, 1890, a few young ones were 
taken in the bay; later it was not observed. It is found in San Fran- 
cisco in May, and large ones are sold in September. 
Caranx chrysus caballus Giinther.

R. Smith, ’80; J. & G., 80a, 456; J. & G., ’81, 46. 
This large species is quite abundant off Point Loma, but it rarely 
enters the bay. It is taken by the barracuda boats. It is not very 
highly esteemed and never brings over 25 cents apiece. It arrived
