Text Appearing Before Image: 222 FISHES OF NORTH CAROLINA. Diagnosis.—Depth contained 3.8 times in total length, the dorsal and ventral outlines equally curved; head contained 3.4 timesin length; maxillary extending under anterior part of eye; eye contained 3.2 times in head, snout 4 times; scales in lateral series 65; dorsal rays IX or x + i,25 to 27; anal rays iii,25 to 27; ventrals extending to front of anal, a little shorter than head; pectorals extending beyond front of anal. Color: light brown above, silvery below, sides with large brown spots; caudal with brown spots; anal with 3 brown spots; ventrals black with silvery margin; pectorals brown above, white below. (Named for the celebrated Dutch ichthyologist, Gronovius, contemporary with Linnaeus.) Text Appearing After Image: Fig. 94. PoRTUGUBSE-MAN-OF-wAR-piSH. Nomeus gronovii. This native of tropical waters (West and East Indian) is abundant in the Sargasso Sea and not uncommon in southern Florida; at more northern points on the United States coast it occurs as a straggler. Dr. Jenkins took an example half an inch long in a tow net at Beaufort in the summer of 1885, and states that in fall the fish is common, &quot;then found only in a medusa, the medusa never being found without a Nomeus&quot;. Prof. Wilson also records the fish as occurring at Beaufort in the bell-cavity of the medusa Stomolophus. The present author has noted the occurrence at Woods Hole, Mass., of as many as 12 of these fish under a single specimen of the medusa known as the &quot;Portuguese man-of-war&quot; (Physalia). The usual length attained is 5 or 6 inches. Genus PSENES Cuvier and Valenciennes. Body rather deep and compressed; mouth small, overhung by the swollen snout; jaw teeth in a single series; no teeth on tongue and vomer in young; scales of small or moderate size, covering body; first dorsal with 10 or 11 spines; second dorsal and anal long and similar; anal spines 3, not separate from soft part. There are 5 or 6 American species, some found in very deep water and some at the surface; 1 known from North Carolina coast. (Psenes, osprey or fish-hawk, a name .of no obvious application.) 191. PSENES REGULUS Poey. Psenes regulus Poey, Synopsis piscium cubensium, 375, 1868; Cuba. Jordan &amp; Evermann, 1896, 951. Diagnosis.—Body oval, much compressed, depth .4 length; head about equal to depth; eye large, more than .3 head; teeth on jaws in one row, short, slender; dorsal rays x,16 to x,18; Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
