»8o CALIFORNIA V.CADEM? OF SCIENCES. 



nearly complete have been senl to the British Museum 

 and to the Museums .it Vienna and Berlin. Partial sets 

 are in the Academy of Sciences at San Francisco and in 

 the U.S. National Museum. It is evident that the list here 

 given is by no means a complete record of the fishes of Si- 

 naloa. Doubtless all the species enumerated Erom Sonora 

 In Gilbert, Jenkins and Evermann, and by Gilbert and 

 others Erom Lower California, will ultimately be found in 

 this region. Every day spent at Ma/.atlan cither by Dr. 

 Gilberl or by ourselves brought some addition to the list. 

 and the deep water fishes have not been studied at all. 



Besides our obligations to Mr. Hopkins, and to the vol- 

 unteer assistants above named, the writers wish to express 

 their especial indebtedness for local assistance to Dr. 

 George Warren Rogers, a scholarly physician resident at 

 Ma/.atlan: to Senor Ygnacio Moreno, the leading fisher- 

 man of the port, whose efforts in aiding our work were un- 

 wearying. We also owe many favors to Messrs. William 

 W. Felton, Bert L. Smith. John T.. Kendall and J. Rip- 

 pey, American residents in Mazatlan. From Dr. Charles 

 1 1. Gilbert, in whose laboratory the present paper has been 

 written, we have received much valuable aid in many 

 ways. 



The plates accompanying this paper have been drawn 

 by Miss Anna L. Brown, artist o\ the Hopkins Labora- 

 tory. 



The following species are here described as new to 

 science. The numbers alter each name are those borne 

 by the type specimens on the register of the Museum oi 

 Leland Stanford Jr. University.
