Ro}icaJor stcanisi, the California roncador, is a large fish Avjth a black ocellus at the base of the pectoral. It has some importance in the Los Angeles market. The goody, spot, or lafayette (Leio- stoiiiiis xanllmnis) is a small, finely flavored species abundam from Cape Cod to Texas. Similar to it but inferior is the little roncador (Gciiyoiiciiiiis lincatiis) of California. The common croaker, Micropogoii uiidiilatns, is very abundant on our Eastern coast, and other species known as verrugatos or white-mouthed drummers replace it farther South. In Uiiibriiia the chin has a short thick barbel. The species abound in the tropics, Uiubrina cirrosa in the Mediterranean; Umbrina coroidcs in California, and the handsome Umbrina roncador, the yellow-tailed roncador, in southern California. The kingfish, Mcnticirrhns, differs in lacking the air-bladder, and lying on the bottom in shallow water the lower fins are enlarged much as in the darters or gobies. All the species are American. All are dull-colored and all excellent as food. Mcii- ticirrhus saxatilis is the common kingfish or sea-mink, abundant.
