124. DIPLODUS HOLBROOKI. 
Sargus holbrooki Bean, Forest and Stream, June 13, 1878 (Charleston); Bean, Proc. 
U. S. N. M. 1878, 198 (Charleston); Jordan & Gilbert, Proc, U. 8. N. M. 
1878, 379 (Beaufort); Bean, Proc. U. 8S. N. M. 1880, 95 (Charleston, New 
York market). 
Diplodus holbrooki Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U.S. N. M. 1882, 605 (Charleston); Jordan 
& Gilbert, Syn. Fish. N. A.,559, 1883; Jordan & Swain, Proc. U.S.N.M. 
1884, 232 (Cedar Keys); Jordan, Cat. Fish. N. A., 91, No. 1067, 1885; Goode, 
Hist. Aquat. Anim., 386, fig. 132, 1886; Jordan, Proc. U. 8S. N. M. 1886, 27 
(Beaufort, N.C.); Eigenmann & Hughes, 1. ¢., 1887, 72 (Cedar Keys, Pen- 
sacola, Beaufort). 
Diplodus caudimacula Jordan & Gilbert, Syn. Fish. N. A., 559, 1883 (young, not caudi- 
macula of Poey). 
Habitat: South Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States; Cape 
Hatteras to Cedar Keys. 
Etymology: Named for John Edwards Holbrook, author of the Ieh- 
thyology of South Carolina. 
The specimens examined are from Cedar Keys and Pensacola, Fla., 
and from Beaufort, N.C. This species has not yet been found in the 
West Indies, though it probably occurs there. It may be considered 
as the northern representative of argenteus, but is unquestionably a 
different species. \ 
125. DIPLODUS ARGENTEUS. 
Sargus argenteus Cuv. & Val., Hist. Nat. Poiss., v1, 60, 1830 (Brazil); Giinther, Cat. 
Fish. Brit. Mus.,1, 444, 1859 (Rio Janeiro); Goode, Bull. U.S. N.M., v, 75 
(Bermudas); Giinther, Shore Fishes, 5-7, 1880 (Island of Ascension, Ber- 
mudas). 
Diplodus argenteus Eigenmann & Hughes, 1. ¢., 1887, 73 (New Smyrna, Fla. ). 
Sargus caudimacula Poey, Memorias de Cuba, 11, 198, 1860 (Cuba); Poey, Syn. Pise. 
Cub., 310, 1868 (Cuba); Poey, Enumeratio Pise. Cub., 57, 1875 (Cuba). 
Habitat: West Indies, Florida and the Bermudas to Rio Janeiro. 
Etymology: Argenteus, silvery. 
The specimen examined is from New Smyrna, Fla., where it was 
obtained by Mr. William P. Shannon. This is the only specimen yet 
recorded from the United States. The account of Sargus argenteus 
Cuv. & Val. agrees well with our specimen from New Smyrna, which is 
certainly the Sargus caudimacula of Poey. We have therefore substi- 
tuted the name argenteus for the current name caudimacula. The types 
of S. argenteus in the Museum at Paris are also identified by Dr. Jordan 
as belonging to the same species as the types of Sargus caudimacula 
which are in the National Museum.
