FISHERY BULLETIN: VOL. 82, NO. 4 



that S. concolor was of considerable commercial 

 importance in Monterey Bay in the 1870's and 

 1880's, in great demand and at a high price, 30-50 

 cents a pound according to Goode (1884). Accord- 

 ing to other authors, such as Lockington (1879a, 

 b), it was not abundant even then. No longer of 

 any commercial significance. 



Distribution. — An eastern Pacific endemic origi- 

 nally described from Monterey Bay, Calif. (Lock- 

 ington 1897a). This apparently was the northern 

 limit of the range, and there have been only 

 about 10 recent records from the California coast 

 (Long Beach, Santa Monica Bay, Newport Har- 

 bor; Fitch and Flechsig 1949; Radovich 1961). Its 

 present range is concentrated in the Gulf of 

 California (Castro- Aguirre et al. 1970; Miller and 

 Lea 1972; Collette and Russo 1979:13, fig. 8). 



Material examined. —Total 34 (134-685 mm FL). 



meas.: 34 (134-685): Soquel, Calif. (6); Gulf of 



California (27). 

 counts: 30. 

 diss.: 6 (420-495): Gulf of Calif.
