Range. — Coast of California from ISIonterey to San Diego, Gala- 

 pagos Archipelago. 



One mutilated specimen taken from the stomach of a tunny at Tagus 

 Cove, Albemarle Island. The specimen has lost by maceration the 

 skin and the vertical and pectoral fins which are represented only by 

 their bases. It agrees with specimens of C. taylori from Monterey, 

 differing only in the slightly shorter body. The absence of tiie skin 

 leaves the coloration in doubt. On account of the great break in the 

 distribution, San Diego to Galapagos, the specimen is doubtfully re- 

 ferred to this species. The air-bladder is well preserved and is without 

 posterior foramen thus separating it from Otophidlum indcfatlgabllc.
