thnn eye: preopercular spine well developed, broad, rather sharp, partly 

 covered by skin, curved upward; below this 2 other spines, the anterior 

 one blunt, the other sharp, directed toward lower base of pectoral; post- 

 temporal Ii.ine well developed. Body smooth, wholly without prickles or 

 s.ales ; lateral line complete except on caudal peduncle. Color dark above 

 and on upper f of sides, pale below ; dorsal fins barred with series of dark 

 dots or blotches; caudal similarly marked but rather darker; anal light 

 with a few dark blotches ; pectorals same as caudal ; ventra s plain ; under 

 side of head profusely covered with small round black specks ; muciferons 

 pores on head well developed. Klamath Lakes, Oregon. Besides the 

 specimen described above we have 2 others of the same slender style from 

 Pelican Bay, Upper Klamath Lake, and many others from the lake near 

 Klamath Falls, the majority of which are much smaller and less slender. 

 The slender ones are apparently entirely smooth; a ripe emale 3 inches 

 long has a few prickles on anterior part of body, while all the smaller ones 

 are pretty well covered with small prickles. (Evermann & Meek.) {Un,m,
