Excerpt from The Tuna as Food for Man It must be understood that any list of common names of Mexican tunas can be of only tentative value, for there may be even less uni formity in popular names in Mexico than in this country. In any one locality, however, the name used for a species or variety is reasonably constant. The commercial spirit has had no influence in changing names. As with many other natural and agricultural subjects, it is the native peon who is the court of final resort to decide upon the names of plants. The rancher when asked regarding such matters will almost invariably put the question to one of his more intelligent servants. The names used in this bulletin have been obtained mainly from the peons and have subsequently been verified and corroborated by educated and intelligent ranchers.
