Anisotremus interruptus GILL. 
Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil., 1861, p. 266. SNopGrass & Hetuer, Proc. Wash. Acad. Sci., 1905, 6, p. 377. 
A specimen, No. 3338, 153 inches long from Acapulco. 
Head 3.04 in length without caudal; depth 2.32; eye 4.44 in head; pre- 
orbital at narrowest place 5.28 in eye; scales from origin of dorsal downward 
and backward to lateral line 8, counting one in the lateral line; from lateral line 
downward and backward to anal 13; in lateral line 52; dorsal X, I, 173; anal 
III, 9; pectoral 3.09 in length, extending to a line from base of 7th dorsal ray. 
Seales above lateral line forward are no larger than they are below. 
Anisotremus caesius (JorpAN & GILBERT). 
JorDAN & EveRMANN, Bull. 47, U.S. Nat. Mus., 1898, pt. 2, p. 1316. 
Pomadasys caesius JORDAN & GILBERT, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus:, 1882, 4, p. 383. 
Two specimens, Nos. 3378-9, 73 and 7% inches long from Acapulco. Gilbert 
and Starks (Mem. Cal. Acad. Sci., 1904, 4, p. 107) state that the maxillary, in 
their specimens, reaches the middle of eye, instead of not quite to front of eye. 
In our specimens it just about reaches the front of eye. 
Anisotremus surinamensis (BLocn). 
JorDAN & EvERMANN, Bull. 47, U.S. Nat. Mus., 1898, pt. 2, p. 1318. 
Lutjanus surinamensis Buocn, Ausl. Fische, 1791, 5, p. 3, Atlas, pl. 253. 
A specimen, No. 3215, M. C. Z. 29671, 12% inches long from Wreck Bay, 
Chatham Island. 
Head 2.97 in length without caudal; depth 2.23; eye 4.66 in head; pre- 
orbital at narrowest place 5.60; scales from origin of dorsal downward and 
backward to lateral line 9, in a perpendicular series 7; from lateral line downward 
and backward to anal 13; in lateral line 52; dorsal XII, I, 16; anal III, 9; pec- 
toral 3.21 in length, reaches a line from base of 13th dorsal spine; scales a little 
larger anteriorly above lateral line, than they are below. The pectoral in this 
species is not so long as in A. interruptus and the eye is smaller. 
Another specimen No. 3216, 132 inches long from Wreck Bay, Chatham 
Island.
