Nautichthys oculofasciatus (Girard) 



One young specimen, 30 mm. Ucluelet, 1909, Young and Spread- 

 borough. 



This fish is very different in many respects from the adult. In 

 the caudal region there is a row of enlarged spines just above the anal 

 fin and a band of three or four very irregular rows below the dorsal. 

 The lateral line is armed with a row of long slender bifurcated .spines 

 and the whole abdominal and thoracic region is covered with sharp 

 spines as prominent as those of a Diodon. The rest of the body is 

 covered with much smaller prickles. 



The drawing (Plate II) is in error in showing the spines too 

 much in rows.
