Tliis species has a wide distribution, both geographically and eco- 

 logically. It ranges from Sitka in southern Alaska to the Gulf of 

 California (Starks and Morris. 1907, p. 230) and occurs (as a variant 

 race) ahnost as far south as Cape San Lucas. Bathymetrically its 

 habitat extends from the iutertidal zone to depths as great as 145 

 fathoms. It has generally been stated that this form lives in deeper 

 water to the souilnvard, but this seems true only in that it largely 

 avoids tlie bays and slioals in the south. From the vicinity of Point 

 Conception nortlnvaid it freely migrates (Greene, 1899) into the 

 intertidal zone to .spawn but seldom enters this zone south of Point 

 Conception (Hubbs, 1920). It is common in the bays from central 

 California nortliward, whereas to the southward it is largely if not 

 entirely rejilaced in the bays by Po?^khfhys mynaster. It occurs in 

 deep water in the north as well as in the south.
