ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS 



VOL. 5 



Honda, Panama; Gorgona Island, Colombia; La Plata Island and the 

 Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. 



Remarks: Kemp and Chopra first made known the presence of this 

 species in Pacific waters, in the Gulf of California. They "made a close 

 comparison between the California specimens and others from Fernando 

 Noronha and St. Thomas in the West Indies," but were "unable to find 

 any appreciable difference between them."
