istic marks of the Pogonognathus are a long compressed 
body covered with a short downy hair, a thin bony fibre 
instead of a dorsal fin, a thick membranous feeler at the chin, 
the bones of the pelvis concealed under the skin;—the pelvis 
of the males projecting. 
I shall now enter into a short description of the new species. 
I have added the diagnosis of a kind of Caranx which I con¬ 
sider to be the Caranx leptolepis K, v. H., also that of the 
East Indian Sailor [Oostindisch vaarder] mentioned by Va~ 
lentyn, called by me Balistes melanopleura.
