THE MULLETS. 375 
THE RED MULLET OF EUROPE. 
The genus Audlus is the typical one of a family named Mullidz, which 
has numerous representatives in tropical seas, and eight species are known 
from the Caribbean Sea and Central America, all but one of which belong 
to the genus Ufeneus, whose chief representatives are called Goatfishes. 
The exceptional species is closely related to the celebrated Surmullet, and 
in some years is abundant at places along the eastern coast of the United 
States as far northward as Cape Cod, although it was only specifically named 
in 1885; it has no economical value at present.
