438 FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES. [52] 



OARANGIME. 



55. Vomer setipinnis (Mitch.) C. & Y. Horse-fish. 



Tropical America; not uncommon on the east coast of 

 the United States even as far north as Cape Cod, 

 Massachusetts, and said to have been taken on the 

 coast of Maine. 



30696. Pensacola, Florida. Silas Stearns. 



56. Selene argeiitea (Lac.) Brevoort. Silver Moon-fish 5 Look 



Down ; Horsehead ; Jorotcado (Cuba). 



West Indies ; Gulf of Mexico ; Atlantic coast of the 

 United States to as far north as Cape Cod, Massa- 

 chusetts ; on the Pacific coast north to Lower Cali- 

 fornia. 



If the transformations of this species are those believed 

 in by some excellent ichthyologists we must extend its 

 range northward to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where the 

 Argyreiosus vomer stage has been obtained by Mr. J. 

 Matthew Jones. I am not satisfied that A. vomer and 

 8. argentea are different ages of the same fish. 



30174. Pensacola, Florida. Silas Stearns. 



57. Decapterus puBictatus (Mitch.) Gill. Hotted Scad; 



Robin (Bermudas) ; Cigar-fish (Pensacola). 



Bermudas; West Indies; Brazil; Gulf of Mexico ; east 

 coast of the United States north to Cape Cod, Massa- 

 chusetts. 



The species has been taken at Wood's Holl by the 

 U. S. Fish Commission. It seems to be rare on our 

 Atlantic coast, but is common at Pensacola, Florida. 



30787. Pensacola, Florida. Silas Stearns. 



58. Caranx chrysns (Mitch.). Crevalle; Yellow Crevalle; 



Cojinua (Cuba) ; Jack, Buffalo Jack (Bermudas). 



Bermudas; West Indies; Brazil; Gulf of Mexico; At- 

 lantic coast of the United States north to Cape Ann. 



A single individual of this species was taken in a net 

 off Gloucester, Massachusetts, Sept. 18, 1878. The 

 fish is abundant, but has little commercial importance, 

 at least, so far as the Northern States are concerned. 



21257. Pensacola. Florida. Silas Stearns.
