63. Citharichthys stigmaeus Jordan and Gilbert. 



Four specimens were taken with the dredge, the largest fi\e and 

 one-half inches long. The dorsal rays vary in number from 80 to 

 87, the anal from 65 to 70, and the scales, counting the series above 

 the lateral line, from 56 to 61. The depth of the body in these speci- 

 mens is a little greater than in specimens from California and Oregon. 



This record advances the range of the species from the southern 

 Californian coast to Puget Sound. Specimens taken by the "Alba- 

 tross" from ofi the coast of Oregon ("Albatross," Station 3055), are 

 in the collections of Stanford University. 



64. Isopsetta isolepis (Lockington). 

 A few specimens four or five inches in length were taken. The small 

 dark spots are definitely placed. There is one opposite the tip of the 

 pectoral above the lateral line, one at the base of the caudal on the 

 lateral line, and one midway between these en the lateral line. There 

 are four equidistant spots following the base of the anal, and six fol- 

 lowing the base of the dorsal. A less conspicuous spot is below the 

 lateral line just behind the abdominal cavity. 



65. Parophrys vetulus Girard. 

 This was the most abundant flounder of the region. The young 

 was seldom absent from the contents of the seine. The small ones 

 are spotted very much as in Isopsetta isolepis. 



66. Lepidopsetta bilineata (Ayres). 

 Specimens of this common species, from four or five to thirteen 

 inches in length, were taken in abundance. The species is in need 

 of careful studv with more material than is at hand. The sides of
