 58. CORYPH^ENA HIPPURUS Linnaeus. 



Coryph&na hippurus LINN/EUS, Syst. Nat., Ed. x, 261, 1758, open seas. 

 JORDAN & EVERMANN, Fishes North and Mid. Amer., i, 952, 1896. 



Range. Pelagic : Atlantic and Pacific. 



One adult, 890 mm. long, taken at 13 12' N. ; 111 45' W., be- 

 tween the Revillagigedo Archipelago and Clipperton Island ; also an- 

 other of about the same size captured near Cocos Island, 4 32' N. ; 

 89 17' W. 



There is in the Stanford University collection a young Coryphcena, 

 185 mm. long, from Clarion Island, which is probably this species, 

 although it is too young to show the characters of either hippurus or 

 equisetis. There are about 50 rays in the dorsal and 22 in the anal. 

 The profile before the eyes is convex but scarcely prominently ele- 

 vated.
