Besides all these I have drawings of at least 12 more species of 

 this genus, most of which have distinct native names, but I have not 

 the means of verifying them just now. They abound at Madras but 

 are comparatively rare on the Malabar Coast. Some of the larger 

 sized ones are excellent eating, though never brought to our tables. 



OHstus malabaricus C. V. 



I possess a drawing of a fish which corresponds with the outline 

 and colour of Russell's fig. 156, of which Swainsonhas made his 

 Argylepis Indica, but in my drawing the two dorsals are distinct, not 

 joined as in Russell's figure. 



Lactarius delicatulus, C. V. Soodomboo, T. Russ. 108 : common 

 at Madras. 



Seriola cosmopolita. C. V. Tergaee pare, T. 



Seriola ■ ? Mooskoom pare, T. marked in a similar man- 

 ner to S. binotata C. V. but has 1st dors. deepT)lack and 2nd dors, 

 edged with black : ventrals dusky : some irregular patches of dusky 

 also on the sides. D. 6-1-32. A. 2-16. 



Gallicthys wajor, C. V. Loote pare : T. Russ. 57, not uncommon. 



Scyris indica. C. V. also called Loote pare, T. I once procured a 

 specimen which I considered as an old individual of this species, 30 

 inches long : the long points of the dorsal and anal were wanting. 



Kurtus cornutus, C. V. Kakasi, T. Russ. 48, common at Madras. 



Stromateus atous, C.V. Mowe, T. Russ. 44, Pomfret, white Pom- 

 fret. This in by far the finest eating of all the species of the genus. 



Stromateus candidus, C. V. Velle vaval, T. Russ, 42, White Pam- 

 fret often confounded with the last but not nearly so well flavoured 

 and never grows to such a size.
