tooth in upper jaw. Two small teeth near together in front, simple and 



pointed; two a little larger, behind and outside of these, then two 



others directly behind the first pair. Next, on each side, a tooth much 



larger, pointed, with a conspicuous cusp on the outer side at base, and 



one or more denticulations beside. The other teeth are larger, similar, 



but more serrated and more oblique, approaching the lower teeth in 



form. The median tooth in the lower jaw is broad, with a small median 



cusp and two or three larger lateral cusps on each side. The other 



teeth, C on each side, are much broader than high, with about 4-G sharp 



outward-directed cusps. The first cusp is longest and bears a small 



tooth near its base. These teeth are quite similar and increase slightly 



in size outwards. Tail long, 2| in total length, the caudal fln mostly 



below it. Anal small, just behind the small dorsal. Coast of California 



and northward ; common.

" Disk rhombic, about as broad as long. The snout prominent, but 

 bluntish at tip, anterior margin of pectorals forming less than a right 

 angle. Eyes rather large. Rostral ridges separate their whole length. 

 Tail stout, depressed, with a narrow lateral fold, upper surface entirely 

 covered with stout, close-set, stellated iirickles of different sizes, largest 

 on the bases of the pectorals aiul smallest on the outer edges of the fins, 

 those on the tip of snout and anterior edge of the pectorals not enlarged. 

 Stout, bluntish, slightly recurved spines present as follows : One at the 

 upper anterior angle of the eye and two behind it; one large one at the 

 middle of the shoulders, in front of which are two others ; two serie^ on 

 the shoulders outside the median line, the inner of two, the outer of two
