eggs of good size i larger than shad eggs) and of bright rosin color. Fifty-six of the specimens were taken 

 at Karluk by Mr. Rutter. These were L.25 to 1.8 inches long, and the dorsal counts in many of them 

 were iv. m-24; the young have a distinct color pattern, showing the pale blotches on Sns very distinctly. 

 These blotches are nol so distinct on larger examples, indicating that the young are much more bril- 

 liantly colored.
