The above description based on a specimen (No. 04033), 1(5.25 inches long, from Honolulu. 
This species does not appear to be common. It was obtained by Streets, also by Gunther, 
St -indachner; Jordan and Snyder, and by the . llbalnm, but was not seen by Jenkins or Wood. < )nly 
one example was secured by us. 
Jordan and Snyder obtained one specimen, 7.5 inches long, in 1000 at Honolulu.

Genus 107. NAUCRATES Rafinesque. The Pilot Fishes. 
This genus differs from Seriola only in the reduction of the spinous dorsal to a few (4 or 5) low, 
unconnected spines. The young, called Nauclcrus ami Xystophorus, have the spines of tlie dorsals 
connected by membrane, and a more or less distinct strong spine at the angle of the opercle. A single 
pelagic; species, widely distributed in the open seas.
