50G REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 
80. ORTHOPRISTIS POEYI. 
Orthopristis poeyi (Seudder MSS.) Poey, Synopsis, 1868, 312 (Havana). 
Habitat: West Indies. 
Ktymology: Named for Prof. Felipe Poey. 
Of this species we have examined several specimens, all from Ha- 
vana. The species is very close to Orthopristis chrysopterus, but the 
body is more slender and the scales are rather longer. 
81. ORTHOPRISTIS CANTHARINUS. 
Pristipoma cantharinum Jenyns, Voyage Beagle, Fish., 49, 1842 (Galapagos Islands). 
Hemulon modestum Tschudi, Fauna Peruana, 11, 1844 (Peru). 
Habitat: Pacific coast of tropical America. 
Ktymology: From Cantharus (=Spondyliosoma), a genus of sparoid 
fishes, which this remotely resembles. — 
This species is known to us from two examples, each about a foot 
long (4648, M. C. Z.), from the Galapagos Islands. Another, supposed 
to be of the same species, is in the U.S. National Museum from Guaymas. 
The scanty description of Hamulon modestum Tschudi, a species said to 
be rare along the coast of Peru, agrees in all respects so far as it goes 
and is probably the same species. It could not be Orthopristis chalceus, 
Orthopristis brevipinnis, or Isacia conceptionis, as these species have the 
second anal spine quite small. 
82. ORTHOPRISTIS LETHOPRISTIS. 
Orthopristis lethopristis Jordan & Fesler, Proc, Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1889, 36 (Gala- 
pagos Islands). 
Habitat: Galapagos Archipelago. 
Etymology: A7dopat, to forget; zptotes, used for zptotys, a Saw; a ref- 
erence to the entire preopercle. 
This species is known from the original type (26947, M. C. Z.), 15 
inches long, from the Galapagos Islands. 
83. ORTHOPRISTIS BREVIPINNIS. 
Pristipoma brevipinne Steindachner, Ichth. Notizen, vi11, 1869, 10 (Mazatlan). 
Habitat: Pacific coast of tropical America. 
Ktymology: Brevis, short; pinna, fin. 
This species and the preceding form a transition from Microlepidotus 
to typical Orthopristis. From their resemblance to Isacia conceptionis, 
we have suggested for them the subgeneric name of Jsaciella,
