4. Mugil tang, the tang-mullet: firft dorfal fin 4-rayed, 
no fcales on the opercula, narrow yellow ftripes longitu¬ 
dinally. The membrane of the gills has 6 rays, the pec¬ 
toral fins 12, the ventrals 6, the anal the tail 16, the 
-firft dorfal 4, the fecond 9. The head is narrow, with a 
declining roftrum ; the mouth and bony covering of the 
head are formed as in the preceding. The noftrils are 
double; the pupil of the eye is black, the iris white and 
yellow. The membrane of the gills is concealed ; the 
aperture wide. A yellow line runs along each row of 
fcales. The back is brown, the fides white, the fins yel- 
lowilli-brown. This fpecies is from Acara on the Guinea- 
coaft; it is fat and well tailed; the natives call it tang, 
which name has been preferved. 
( 3 . M. Tranquebar. This variety differs in the foliow'- 
ing particulars: the head is Imaller, the eyes more verti¬ 
cal, the noftrils farther afunder, the lip-bones narrower, 
and the yellbw lines narrower; the opercula are not fo 
large, and are furnilhed with fcales; the anal fin has 12 
rays. It is feldom more than a foot in length, neither is 
it by any means plentiful; it is good food. Inhabits 
Tranquebar. Cepede makes it a diftinft fpecies. 
The above four fpecies are diftinguilhed by their cor- 
relponding numbers on the annexed Engraving. 
5. Mugil Plumieri, the yellow mullet: firft dorfal fin 
4-rayed ; mouth w'ide; no fcales on the opercula; no lon¬ 
gitudinal ftripes. There are 12 rays in the pedtoral fins, 
7 in the ventrals, 10 in the anal, 9 in the tail, 4 in the

as far as the opercula; the jaws are of equal length, the 
teeth fmall. The pupil of the eye is black, the iris orange- 
colour. The gills have a wide aperture, and the mem¬ 
brane is only in part concealed. The trunk is thick, 
flefhy, and fcaly; the rays of the dorfal fins are fingle, of 
the reft they are ramified. The principal colour of this 
fi-fii is yellow. Plunder found it in the rivers of the Ifle 
of St. Vincent; he fays it is fat and good eating. It is 
called by the natives atoubri, but the French wdro live 
there call it the golden mullet. 
6. Mugil caeruleo-maculatus, the blue-fpot mullet: 4 
rays in the firft dorfal fin, colour blue and brown, with a 
blue fpot at the bafe of each pefloral fin ; no longitudinal 
ftripes: 5 rays in the membrane of the gills, 9 in the fe¬ 
cond dorfal fin, 10 in the anal, 16 in each peftoral. Com- 
merfon left a defcription of this filh in his manufcripts. 
The fides are browniili-blue, the belly as white as filver; 
the dorfal and tail-fins are brown. Native of the Indian 
leas ; fize of the common mullet. 
7. Mugil Chilenfis, the Chilian mullet: only one dor¬ 
fal fin, (whence it is made a diftimSt genus, Mugiloides, 
by Cepede;) tail entire: 7 rays in the membrane of the 
gills, 3 y in the dorfal fin, 12 in the pedtorals, ■£• in the ven¬ 
trals, 4% in the anal, and 16 in the tail. Inhabits the fea 
round Chili, and the rivers which empty themfelves into 
it; about afoot long; in lhape and fcales it refemble's 
M. cephalus. 
S. Mugil chanos, the winged mullet: dorfal fin fingle ; 
■tail forked, and furnilhed, towards the middle, with two 
membranaceous wing-like appendages on each fide: 4 rays 
in the membrane of the gills, 14 in the dorfal fin, 16 in 
the pectorals, u in the ventrals, 9 in the anal, 20 in the 
tail. This, on account of the curious particularity of 
wings on the tail, is made a feparate genus by Cepede, 
though he notices but one wing on each fide of the tail. 
It inhabits the Red Sea, and grows a yard long. Body 
:©blong, filvery, with foft cirri, but without teeth ; fcales 
broad, rounded, finely ftriate. Head narrower than the 
body; crown flat, glaucous, naked; upper lip longer, 
notched in the middle; lateral line recurved near the 
.jaead and afterwards ftraiglit, near the back.

with an appendage to each ray; fmall protuberances in 
the mouth, but no teeth: 15 rays in the anal fin, 18 in 
the pe&orals, 15 in the ventrals, 10 in the tail, which is 
forked. This was communicated to Cepede by citizen 
Bol'c, commercial agent from the French republic to that 
or America. Cepede has made it a diftimft genus, and 
dedicated it to his wife; calling it Mugilomorus Anna 
Carolina. It inhabits the lea about Carolina, and is 
reckoned good food. It is of a filvery colour, with a 
caft of azure 011 the back. Length two feet, height four 
inches, thicknefs two inches and a half; a beautiful filh, 
and of elegant proportions. Head long, comprefi'ed and
