 " Fische," p. 56.) 



Fam. Scvlliid^e. 



Gen. Scyllium. 



354. SCYLLIUM ACANTHOMOTUM, 



De Fil. 

 Dr. Giinther considers this a fcetal example of 



S. stellare, or eanicula. 

 Habit. One specimen, one decimetre long, 



found in the market at Spalato, March 30, 



1882. — Steindachner. (See Kolombatovic, 



"Fische," p. 56.) 



Fam. ACIPENSERID/E. 



Gen. Acipenser. 



355. ACIPENSER STELLA TUS, Pall. 

 Habit. A specimen is in the Museum at Trieste, 



caught in the waters of Zara ; hence it may 

 be presumed that it inhabits the rivers of 

 Ualmatia. (See Perugia's " Elenco," No. 211.) 



Fam. Percid.k. 



Gen. Serranus. 



356. SEER ANUS ACUTLROSTRLS, 



C. & V. 

 Habit. A single specimen from the Istrian 

 coast; not uncommon at Taranto. (See 

 Perugia's "Elenco," No. 7, and Plate I.) 



Gen. Dentex. 



357. DENTEX ELLOSUS, Va. 



Habit. Steindachner found a specimen at 

 Spalato, December 7, 1881, and the fisher- 

 men say that it is not the first time this species 

 has been caught there. (See Kolom., 

 '■ Fische," p. 1 1.) 



Note. Hitherto not mentioned in the Adriatic, 

 nor by Canestrini in Italian waters ; Doder- 

 lein found two specimens at Palermo. 



358. DENTEX MACROEHTHALMUS, 



C. & V. 



Habit. Not uncommon at Spalato in autumn 

 and winter; probably to be found in other 

 waters too ; is easily overlooked by its 

 outward resemblance to Eageltus erythrinus. 

 Risso found it at Nice, Canestrini at Genoa, 

 so it is probably common to the Mediter- 

 ranean. (See Kolom., "Fische," p. 12.) 



Fam. Sparid/E. 



Gen. Sargus. 



359. SARGUS VETULA, C. & V.
