Dorsal contour of body ('veiily roumled and more elevated than the ventral,. 
^vhich is sublinear and gently declivous ])et\veen the throat and the origin of the 
anal fin, beyond which it is symmetrically acclivous; width of body 2-66 to 2 in 
its depth, which is 2-0 to 24 in its length and one eighth to one third more than 
the length of the head; abdominal region rather long, its length 14 to 1*55 in 
that of the anal; caudal ])eduncle from one half to one twelfth deeper than 
wide, its width 2-55 to 1-25 in the eye-diameter. Head large, Avith cA^enly convex 
upper profile, its length 3-35 to 3-15 in that of the body; width of head 2 to 1*8 
in its depth, Avhieh is 1-2 to 1*05 in its length; cranio-nuchal keel moderately 
trenchant in the young, inconspicuous in the adult. Diameter of eye 3-G to 54 
in the length of the head. 1-33 to 2*25 in that of the snout, and 1*05 to 1-85 in 
the elevated and sharply convex inlerorbital width, the adipose lid not nearly 
reaching the pupil in front or behind. Mandible extending to below the anterior 
border of the pu})il in tlie youixg, of the eye in the adult; maxillary rather 
shorter, its length 2-7 to 2*5 in that of the head, the width of its truncate or 
rounded distal extremity from one fourth more in the young to tluTe fifths less 
in the adult than its distance from the eye and 2*05 to 1-55 in the eye-diameter. 
Angle of preopercle feebly crenulate. 
Xo teeth, at least in the adult.^® 
Day (1) remarks — ' ‘ In young specimens several rows of villiform teeth in upper 
jaw, with an external row of strong ones; a single row of irregularly sized ones in the lower 
jaw; small and villiform on vomer and palate.” This is practically the adult dentition of 
CaraiiguR CJrifTitli. which should, therefore, be closely associated with Caranx in the generic 
sequence. Ricdiardsnn and Cantor also describe these teeth, the latter hazarding the statement 
that they have become imperceptible by the time the fish has attained a length of 90 millim. 
Tn our smallest example we can nowhere detect any teeth, thus corroborating Cantor’s state- 
ment, nevertheless the sun-dried tongue of a large specimen is densely clothed with minute' 
ncicular teeth.
