Body elongate, its dorsal and ventral out- lines equal; profile straight from snout to dorsal; head small and pointed; mouth large, oblique, the jaws equal; maxillary reaching posterior edge of orbit; teeth large, compressed and sharp, 24 to 26 in each jaw; lateral line undulating, with about 175 pores. Colour, silvery, bluish above; sides with many elliptical spots of dull orange, 2 rows below lateral line and i above; spinous dorsal white at base, black above; soft dorsal tinged with yellowish, its margin black; anal white; posterior side of pectoral black, the an- terior yellowish with black borders; caudal blackish. Mexican Sierra Scomberomoriis sierra Jordan & Starks This species is the Pacific Coast representative of the Spanish mackerel which it very closely resembles and from which it differs only in the more posterior insertion of the soft dorsal and in the colouration. It is known only from Mazatlan, reaches a length of 2\ feet, and is not highly valued as food, but why it is not we are unable to say. Colour, silvery, dark steel-blue on the back; sides with nu- merous round spots- of the same colour as the back, 3 rows below and i above the lateral line; spinous dorsal all black; anal white; posterior surface of pectoral entirely black, anterior yellowish with blackish borders; caudal black. A large example, probably a male, had 5 rows of spots below lateral line, these spots decreasing in size anteriorly toward the belly, but extending nearly to base of ventral Sierra; Pintado; King-fish Scomberomoriis regalis (Bloch) This fine fish is found from Cape Cod to Brazil, but it is not co
