American food and game fishes : a popular account of all the species found in America, north of the equator, with keys for ready identification, life histories and methods of capture . e-cially in the West Indies. Colour, greenish-olive, golden-yellow or silvery below ; ablack blotch on opercle; fins all pale. Carangus caballus, the cocinero, is the representative of on the Pacific Coast. It occurs from Panama and CerrosIsland northward to San Diego, and is quite abundant from theGulf of California southward. Carangus marginatus occurs on the Pacific Coast of Mexicofrom Mazatlan to Panama, and is not uncommon. From C latus,which it closely resembles, it may be readily known by its lessslender form, dark colours, and larger eye. Carangus latus, the horse-eye jack, inhabits the same watersas the preceding, and is also found on the Atlantic Coast fromBrazil to South Carolina and Virginia. It also occurs in theEast Indies. It is not of much value as food. The flesh, insome places in the tropics, is reputed poisonous, giving rise tothe disease called Ciguatera. It is abundant southward, butfurther north it is less common than C hippos. 306 RUNNER, Caratix crysos. CREVALLE, Caraiix hippos
