ciennes. Chorinemus tala, also described as having the teeth stronger in proportion than in Ch. lysan, 
is doubtless the same. Although the dentition was not adequately described by those authors, the 
agreement of the specimens with the remaining details of their description is satisfactory. Two small 
specimens from Cavite, collected by Doctor Lung and recorded by Jordan & Seale under the name of 
Scomberoides tala, belong to the present species. Scomber aculeatus, scantily described by Bloch, is 
nearer Scomberoides tala than any other form. 
TRACHUROPS Gill. 
75. Trachurops crumenophthalma (Bloch). Matambaca (=‘‘Cow-eye”’). 
One specimen from Manila, 5 inches long, and one from Lubang, 3.50 inches. 
MEGALASPIS Bleeker. 
76. Megalaspis cordyla (Linnus). Ureles. 
One example from Manila, 7 inches. 
CARANX Lacépéde. 
77. Caranx forsteri Cuvier & Valenciennes. 
Four small specimens, 2.50 to 3.50 inches, one each from Lubang, Manila, Iloilo, and Cagayancillo. 
78. Caranx ignobilis Forskal. 
One example from Iloilo and one from Lubang, 3 inches long. This species is very close to Caranz 
forstert, differing from it in having the breast naked except for a small central patch of scales. 
79. Caranx ire Cuvier & Valenciennes. Salay salay. 
One example from Manila, 6 inches long, and one from Iloilo, 2.50 inches. 
80. Caranx affinis Riippell. 
A fine specimen, 6 inches long, from Cavite, taken by Doctor Lung, and recorded by Jordan & Seale 
as Caranx hasseltii, belongs to this species of Riippell, which is distinguished from Caranx leptolepis, 
djeddaba, and calla by its more slender form. Depth 4.20 in total length, including caudal; lateral 
line becoming straight under seventh soft dorsal ray. 
81. Caranx leptolepis Cuvier & Valenciennes. 
A small specimen, 3 inches in length, taken at Cavite by Doctor Lung. The lateral line becomes 
straight under the twelfth dorsal ray. Depth 3.60 in total length, including caudal. 
82. Caranx calla Cuvier & Valenciennes. 
Four specimens, 3 inches long, from Manila and a single small specimen from Iloilo. This species 
is close to Caranx djeddaba, but the lower profile is more convex than the upper, and the lateral line 
becomes straight under the fourth or fifth soft dorsal ray. Depth 3.25 in total length. Four small 
specimens from Cavite, taken by Doctor Lung and recorded by Jordan & Seale as Caranx nigripinnis, 
belong to this species. 
83. Caranx djeddaba (Forskal). 
One example, 6 inches long, from Manila. The upper and lower profile are equally curved and 
the lateral line becomes straight under the second soft dorsal ray. Depth 3.60 in total length. Color 
in life, silvery white, washed with pale yellow along lateral line; caudal strongly lemon yellow, the 
upper fork edged with dusky; upper parts deep blue; snout brown; a black blotch on upper posterior 
edge of opercle; pectoral, anal, and ventrals pure white; dorsals edged with dusky. 
84. Caranx deani Jordan & Seale. 
A specimen 4 inches long, from Cavite, taken by Doctor Lung and recorded by Jordan & Seale as 
Caranx nigripinnis apparently belongs to this species. 
85. Caranx armatus Forskal. 
One specimen, 4 inches long, and one 2 inches, from Manila. 
86. Caranx altissimus Jordan & Seale. 
Three specimens, 3 to 4 inches long, from Manila. 
Color in life, silvery white; a wash of pale blue on upper half; pectoral and caudal faintly washed 
with yellow; caudal edged with dusky; a small spot on posterior part of opercle, and another in axil 
of pectoral.
