. Annali del Museo civico di storia naturale Giacomo Doria. Natural history. THE GENERIC NAMES ETC. 27 they give (reproduced here, Figure 1) agrees closely with that given by De Kay (1842, pi. 1, fig. 2). b) Morone rufa. Mitchill (1814) stated « Is in strictness no more a Perca than the preceding, to which it has a strong resemblance ». Salient features are « Head elongated into a sort of snout », « Jaws rough-. Figure 1 - Morone americana (Gmelin) (from Bigelow & Schroeder, Fishes of the Gulf of Maine) ened by very small teeth », « lateral line a little crooked upward », « length 10 inches, depth 4 1-2», «D 9-13, A 14; of which the three foremost are spinous ». Mitchill's second description, Bodianus rufus (Mitchill, 1815), differs little from the first; the depth becomes 3y2i but the counts for finrays are identical. De Kay (Joe. cit.) lists this species as Labrax rufus, and Gùnther (1859), Gill (1860), Boulenger (1895) and Jordan & Evermann (1896) place it as a synonym of Morone americana (Gmelin). The name Perca rufa Walbaum is not involved here. It was based (Walbaum, 1792, p. 351) on the Squirrel Fish, * Perca marina rubra ' of Catesby (1743, pi. 3, fig. 2). The figure clearly shows a holocentrid, not a serranid. c) Morone flavescens. Mitchill (1815) also placed this species in the genus Bodianus in his second description, although two pages earlier he had re-assigned his rather less perch-like Roccus striatus to the genus Perca. Nevertheless, authors have unanimously accepted.
