The adult fishes are widespread, but most of them probably seek the coasts in spawning time. The natural history of all these important and interest- ing species has been very little investigated, and very little material was obtained during the cruise of the ' Michael Sars.' We obtained far â odes, No. 3. Nat. size, 2 more information concerning the Carangidae or horse-mackerels, of which young individuals were taken abundantly so far from land that their oceanic habitat may be considered as proved. To this family also belongs the famous pilot-fish {Naiicrates ductor, see Fig. 465), some specimens of which were taken.
