The description is based on eight specimens, 120 to 180 mm. 

 long, from Havana, Trinidad, and Kio de Janeiro (^S. an- 

 chovia), several of 110 to 130 mm. from Algiers, the type of 

 >S'. lemuru from Java (145 mm. long) and two examples from 

 China, 180 mm. long [C. nwlanos/icta, Giinth.). In a very 

 small fish (75 mm.) I count 80 gill-rakers on the lower part 

 of the anterior arc!). 



The discontinuous distribution of this species is remark- 

 able ; in the Indian Ocean it is represented by the allied 

 /S. longiceps.
