lateral line, more conspicuous posteriorly; a dark bar half as wide

 interopercle; bordered on each side by a light streak, a similar 

 bordered bar running across top of head, slightly turning around 

 posterior margin of orbit, downward along margin of preopercle, 

 and ending on posterior end of interopercle; snout abruptly black, 

 lips dark; fins all dark and slightly mottled; tips of ventral, anal 

 and caudal rays a little lighter; caudal and pectoral dark at base;

This species is not uncommon in Puget Sound ; the types are three 

 specimens taken on channel rocks at Point Orchard, near Seattle, by 

 Miss Maud Parker and Mr. Adam Hubbart, members of the Young 

 Naturalists' Club of Seattle. The largest of them is 4 inches in 

 length. The types are in the Museum of the Leland Stanford 

 Junior University. Unfortunately the life colors of this brilliant 

 species were not taken. There is, in life, much red on the lateral 

 plates and elsewhere on the body and fins. This disappears at once 

 in alcohol.
