119. Querimana harengus (Giinlher). 



Tliis little nuillet was taken in abundance in the ntck-pools. There is con- 

 siderable variation among the specimens, as the tal)le of measurements will show. 

 Nothing can be found, however, that would indicate more than one species among 

 them, (^ut of fiftv specimens examined, four were found with three anal spines. 

 In each of these cases, a spine hail replaced a ray, as only nine rays were present 

 instead of the ten always found in two-spincd examples.

Not uncommon in the market at Panaina, where nine specimens were collected. 

 These agree very well with the description given by Dr. Steindaclmer (1879//, p. 4)
