  The 
  American 
  species 
  (albula) 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  identical 
  with 
  the 
  European 
  (cephalus).

  a

  account 
  of 
  the 
  American 
  Mugilidas,

  In 
  the 
  paper 
  above 
  cited, 
  we 
  have 
  adopted 
  the 
  name 
  Mugil 
  brasiliensis 
  for 
  this 
  

   species. 
  This 
  is 
  perhaps 
  too 
  hasty, 
  as 
  the 
  Mugil 
  brasiliensis 
  of 
  Agassiz 
  seems 
  at 
  least 
  

   as 
  likely 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  Mugil 
  liza.

  This 
  genus 
  differs 
  from 
  Mugil 
  chiefly 
  in 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  but 
  two 
  spines 
  in 
  the 
  anal 
  

   fin. 
  The 
  species 
  are 
  of 
  small

  some 
  of 
  them

  in
