GENUS ARCHOSARGUS GILL The Sheepsheads This genus, like Lagodon, Steuoiomiis, and Otrynter, which show the same character of the procumbent dorsal spine, is confined to American waters. There are 2 colour types in the genus, one group being made up of species with broad black cross-bars, the other of species with longitudinal golden streaks and inconspicuous cross-bars, resembling Lagodon. a. Occipital crest rather thin, its honeycomb structure not exposed. Species with streaks of steel-blue and golden, the dark cross- bars narrow, disappearing with age iinimaculatus, 442. aa.
