Hamulon quinquelineatum, Poey, Memorias, 11, 419, 1860 (Cuba). 
Habitat: Bermudas to Brazil. 
Etymology: Striatus, striped. 
This is probably the species indicated by Linnzeus under the name 
Perca striata. The number (13) of dorsal spines and the comparison 
with P. melanura render it certain that this species, H. rimator, or 
H, aurolineatum was intended. Of these, only the present species has 
the second anal spine especially strong (‘ validissimus”), and to this 
species the name striatum should apparently be referred. 
The following is Linneus’s account: 
“ Striata, 22. P. pinnis dorsalibus unitis, cauda bifida, corpore striato. 
CODE etee Ee los Vepes As tye, COC. LT. 
“ Habitat in America septentrionali. Mus. de Geer. Opercula subserrata. Radius 
secundus analis validissimus. Cauda nigra non est, qua differt a P. melanura.” 
Specimens are in the museum at Cambridge from Havana and Ber- 
muda.

Etymology: Flavus, yellow; guttatus, spotted. 
This species is generally common along the Pacific coast of tropical 
America. It has no analogue among the Atlantic species. On account 
of the peculiarities of the form of the body, the snout, the moutb, and
