longer than deep ; snout blunt, compressed, not conical, 3 in head; max- 

 illary reaching to near middle of pupil, 1\ in head. Dorsal fin falcate, its 

 lobe 4* in length of body, 13 in depth, 1* in length of head, and 2 in base 

 of fin. Olivaceous; a dark-brown or black band from eye to soft dorsal ; 

 the body otherwise plain. Mediterranean to Brazil, the West Indies, and 

 South Carolina; occasional on the Florida Coast. (Named for the Due 

 de Rivoli, who collected the types of the species in Greece.) (Eu.)

1295. SERIOLA FALCATA, Cuvier & Valenciennes 

 (MADREOAL : " ROCK SALMON.") 



Head 3i (4? in total); depth 3| (4 in total). D. VII-I, 29; A. II-I, 21. 

 Co3ca 30. Body rather deep and compressed. Head somewhat longer 

 that deep, not conical. Snout 2f in head; maxillary reaching front of 

 pupil, 3i in head, its tip broad ; eye large, 5i in head, If in snout. Occi- 

 put somewhat carinated. Interorbital space wide, convex. Caudal keel 

 little developed. Dorsal high, somewhat falcate, its anterior lobe If in 

 head, 21 in the base of the fin ; pectorals 2 in head ; ventrals 13 ; anal 

 lobe If ; anal spines small. Life coloration as follows: Grayish above, 

 paler but hardly silvery below; fins blackish, the pectorals pale, the 

 caudal not at all yellow; eye white; lining of opercle pale; a very 

 obscure olivaceous band from eye to front of dorsal, scarcely visible in 

 fresh specimens ; preorbital and preopercle shaded with olive. West 

 Indies, north to Florida and Carolina; more common than the preceding, 

 with which it is probably identical, differing, so far as we can see, only in 

 the faint color of the temporal band. If the two are the same, the name 

 Seriola rivoliana should be used, as having priority. Seriola fasciata is 

 apparently a different species, (falcatus, scythe-shaped).
