Seriola dor salts (Gill). ''Yellow tail." Several fresh ones seen 

 at Santa Catalina. Taken closer in shore than the other fishes. 



Tetrapturus mitsukurii Jordan and Snyder. One example, cap- 

 tured September 21, 1910, about five miles off the southeastern 

 shore of Santa Catahna, measured nine feet in length. At the time 

 the species was irregular, or only a few taken by the anglers. They 

 break at the surface, but do not jump like the tarpon. They do not 

 strike the hook but take it gradually, so that after a short interval 

 the angler sets it with a jerk. Then a battle ensues for half an hour 

 or more, in which time the fish becomes exhausted and is finally 

 gaffed. Mr. Rehn did not hear the alleged name "marlin spike- 

 fish" for it at Santa Catalina. 



Stereolepis gigas (Ayres). "Jew fish." Mr. Rehn reports 6 or 

 8 large ones on the dock at Santa Catalina, and the largest 6 or 7 

 feet long.
