Other species of this family, belonging to the genusEqiics, are marked with ribbon-like stripes of black. Equeslanceolatus, known in Cuba as scrrana, is the most ornate of thesespecies, looking like a butterfly-fish or Ch^etodon. Several fossil fragments have been doubtfully referred toScicBna, Umbrina, Pogonias, and other genera. Otoliths or 572 Surmullets, Croakers, etc. ear-bones not clearly identifiable are found from the Mioceneon. These structures are more highly specialized in this groupthan in any other.
