RICHARDSON: LARVAL FISHES OFF OREGON 



(12-22 mm) were captured east of long. 125°W. 

 Most larvae were close to shore. Slender sole, 

 Lyopsetta exilis, (21 specimens, 10-23 mm) 

 occurred east of long. 125°30'W, but were not 

 concentrated as close to shore as /. isolepis. 

 Dover sole, Microstomus pacificus, (10 speci- 

 mens, 12-61 mm) were all collected west of 

 long. 125 °W. The six English sole, Parophr'ys 

 vetulus, (18-22 mm) taken in May occurred off 

 Newport (2) and Cape Arago (4) between the 

 coast and long. 125 °W. Sand sole, Psettichthys 

 melanostictus, (18 specimens, 15-26 mm) also 

 occurred mainly between the coast and long. 

 125°W; two of the specimens were taken at 

 long. 125°30'W.
