Preopercle without salient angle dnitmnond-hayi, 385 bb. Second dorsal spine elevated, not shorter than third and fourth; caudal lunate morio, 383 Epinephelus mystacinus, the cherna de lo alto, is found amongthe West Indies and south to Brazil, in rather deep water. It reachesabout 2 feet in length, but is not abundant enough to be of much com-mercial importance.
