Evermann — A New Trout from Lower California. 29 



The San Pedro Martir trout is, as already stated, abundant in the Rio 

 San Ramon, and it is hoped the remoteness of the stream from civilization 

 may enable it to remain so. I have been informed by Mr. E. W. Funcke, 

 of San Quintin, Lower California, that an English angler who went into 

 that region in June, 1906, took in 2 days, fishing between 3 and 4 hours 

 each day, over 100 trout. They ranged from 5 to 11.5 inches in length. 

 They are said to be very game. 



It gives me great pleasure to name this interesting species of trout for 

 my friend Mr. Edward W. Nelson, in recognition of his valuable studies 

 of the fauna and flora of Mexico. 



Awaous taiasica (Lichtenstein). 



GOBY; GUAVTNA. 

 One large example, 8.375 inches long, from a small stream at La 

 Purisima, south central part of Lower California, November 4, 1906. 



Gillichthys mirabilis Cooper. 



LONG-JAWED GOBY. 



Seven small examples from tide pools in rocks on shore of San Felipe 

 Bay, Gulf of California, June 23, 1905. 



Re mora remora (Linnaeus). 



REMORA. 



One small example, 2.75 inches long, obtained from a hammerhead 

 shark at Magdalena Bay, December 2, 1905. 



The following additional species have been recorded from 

 Lower California freshwater localities: 



Fundulus vinctus Jordan & Gilbert. 

 Cape San Lucas* (Coll., John Xantus). 

 Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat, Mus., V, 1882, 355; Meek, 105. 



Fundulus extensus Jordan & Gilbert. 

 Cape San Lucas* (Coll., John Xantus). 

 Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., V, 1882, 355; Meek, 108. 



Characodon furcidens Jordan & Gilbert. 

 Cape San Lucas* (Coll., John Xantus). 

 Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., V, 1882, 354; Meek, 122. 



Lucania browni Jordan & Richardson. 



" From the outbreak of a hot spring on the eastern margin of the salt 

 lake that lies between the Coast and Cocopah ranges in northeastern Lower 

 California." (Coll., Herbert Brown. ) 



Jordan & Richardson, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXXIII, 1907, 319, with 

 figure. 



* I am informed by Mr. E. W. Nelson that he found no fresh or even brackish water 

 in the vicinity of Cape St. Lucas in the dry season. There is fresh ami brackish water 

 at San Jose\ about 16 miles along the coast to the northeast and from 40 to "i0 miles to 

 the northwest, near Pescadero and Todos Santos. Xantus made collections at Todos 

 Santos and the fishes labeled Cape St. Lucas may have come from there.
