"'They form an isolated group, and have no real affinity with the Scombridse, with which they have long been 

 associated." Boulenger. 



2 "This group is distinguished by a single peculiar character, the extension of the third suborbital bone across 

 the cheek to or toward the preopercle. From the Craniomi, an offshoot from the same group, in which the develop- 

 ment of the suborbital stay is carried much farther, the present group is distinguished by the normal character of 

 the shoulder girdle." Jordan and Evermann. 



3 "Scapular arch abnormal, the post-temporal forming an integral part of the cranium and the postero-tempoial 

 crowded out of place by the side of the proscapula above or at the edge of the post-temporal. In other respects 

 essentially as in the Loricati, from which the Craniomi are derived." Jordan and Evermann. 



The families of Craniomi are Triglidse, Peristediidse, and Cephalacanlhidse, no representatives of the second 

 mentioned of which have been recorded for Canada.
