76. Seriola dorsalis (Gill). 



YELLOW-TxVIL. 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1896, I, p. 902, fig. 380.) 

 Abundant on the Southern California coast. Known from 

 Cape San Lucas (type locality) northward to the Santa Barbara 

 Islands, where it is an important species. 



77. Caranx caballus (Giinther). 

 (Jordan and Evermann, 1896, I, p. 921.) 



This species was recorded from San Diego by Girard (1858, 

 p. 108), but it has not since been seen so far north. It is found 

 southward to Panama and the Galapagos Islands (Snodgrass and 

 Heller, 1905, p. 364). 



78. Trachurus picturata (Bowdieh). 



HORSE MACKEREL. 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1896, I, p. 909.) 

 Specimens taken in San Diego Bay. This species is of wide 

 but peculiar distribution. It is known from IMonterey to San 

 Diego, from the Galapagos Islands to Chili, and New Zealand, but 

 not from the west coast of Mexico and Central America. It is 

 known from the Mediterranean, but not from the east coast of 

 North or South America. It seems probable that further study 

 will prove that more than one species is included in this range. 



Family LUVARID.E. 

 79. Luvarus imperialis Day. 

 This species is recently recorded from off Catalina Island. 

 (Jordan and Starks, 1906.) It is a widely distributed pelagic 

 species. 



Family LAMPRID.E. 

 80. Lampris regia (Bonnaterre). 



OPAH ; MOONFISH. 



{Lampris luna Jordan and Evermann, 1896, I, p. 954.) 

 Mrs. Andrews of San Diego has a painting of this species from 

 a specimen caught in the vicinity. It is a pelagic species cos-
