eye 7 iu head; interorbital space 2f; maxillary 2J ; pectoral If; ventral 

 disk 2\. Body moderately elongate, much compressed posteriorly, about 

 as wide as deep anteriorly, its greatest depth under middle of soft dorsal 

 where the back is elevated. Flesh very firm, the body retaining its form, 

 the skin loose but not flaccid. Head email, the nape not produced ; mouth 

 moderate, the maxillary extending to below the anterior margin of orbit;, 

 jaws subequal; teeth tricuspid, arranged in series which are nearly trans- 

 verse on middle of jaws, becoming more and more oblique toward the 

 sides, the outermost series nearly parallel with the sides of jaws; nostrils 

 ending in a short, wide tube; gill opening short, extending downward to 

 about the fifth pectoral ray, its length about \ iuterorbital space; oper- 

 cle ending in a flap, which extends over middle of gill opening; ventral 

 disk slightly longer than wide, its distance from tip of lower jaw 1^ 

 times its length ; vent equidistant from posterior edge of ventral disk 

 and front of anal ; skin thick and not very loose. Origin of spinous dorsal 

 a little in front of the vertical from vent, its distance from snout 3 in 

 length of body; anterior part of dorsal separated by a notch; origin of 

 anal about equidistant from snout and base of caudal fin ; some of the 

 lower rays of pectoral produced forming a notch in the lower posterior 

 margin of fin, the fourth to the tenth of the upper rays the longest, form- 

 ing a rounded point behind, extending slightly past the vertical from snout ; 

 dorsal and anal scarcely connected with the caudal; caudal long and 

 slender, rounded behind. Color, a uniform dark olive green, under parts 

 white, a light streak medially along back from dorsal to occiput, a light 

 spot over opercle ; pectoral light at base, dusky l)ehind ; other flns colored 

 like the T>ody ; lips white. The specimen described above, 4 inches long, 

 taken in rock pool on Waadda Island, Neah Bay. A second specimen, 

 about 5 inches long, is in the museum of the California Academy of Sci- 

 ences. It was collected off San Francisco by Mr. H. D. Dunn. In this 

 specimen, the dorsal rays are VI, 27 ; anal 25 ; pectoral 30 ; caudal 15 ; 

 teeth blunt. Flesh firm; form and color of the young example above 

 described. San Francisco to Puget Sound. (Named for Mrs. Flora Hartley
