* A new species discovered by MM. Kuhl and Van Hasselt, in the Indian 

 Ocean. It is very similar to the C. smaris, but not the same. 



t Another species, which has been found in the Mediterranean, near to the coast 

 of Sicily. 



% The Mediterranean produces this new species of Tunny, which resembles the 

 common one in every respect, except that the pectorals are much shorter. 



§ A new species found near St. Helena, by MM. Quoy and Gaimard. It 

 approaches closely to the G. serpens of Cuvier. 



II A small fish, specimens of which have been brought from Pondicherry by 

 M. Sonnerat, and from the coast of Java by MM. Kuhl and Van Hasselt, which 

 very much resembles a Trichinotus ; except that the ventinls are attached to the 

 under part of the throat, a circumstance which Cuvier, in his work on fishes, has 

 thought sufficient to rank it as the type of a distinct genera. Its place should, 

 therefore, be immediately after the Trichinotus, page 129. 



H M. de Lacepede has called by the name of Scomberoides, those I. ichia resembling 

 the rest in the greater part of their organs ; but of wiiich tlie rays of the second 

 dorsal or of the anal are either entirely detached, or uni'ed by a membrane so 

 fragile, that it often entirely disappears ; and they seem to form false fins, like those 

 we have observed in the Mackerel and Tunnies. Not being able to retain the 

 name of Scomberoides, since it would be so similar to that of the family, Cuvier has 

 affixed to them, that of Chorinemus; one of which, the— C. Sancti Petii.. a beau- 

 tiful and large fish, was brought by M. Uussumier from the coast of Malabar, 

 and is remarkable by a double range of spots on each flank. Its height is the
