Two specimens collected in the tide pools left in the 
sand on-a beach a couple of miles east of Neah Bay, 
the largest 234 inches in length. They are now in the 
Leland Stanford Jr. University collection, No. 3128. 
A third specimen has been collected at Point Lobos, 
Monterey County, California, on Carmelo Bay, by Mr. 
John O. Snyder. This specimen is considerably brighter 
in color and the markings are more distinct. 
75. Oligocottus maculosus Girard. 
Very abundant. Specimens taken in large numbers in 
a muddy lagoon near Point Orchard. It is one of the 
smallest of the marine Cotézde@, not over 3 inches in 
length. A number of specimens were also taken at 
Neah Bay in tide pools. These differ from the others in 
being lighter in color, and in having many more cirri on 
the top of the head. 
76. Dasycottus setiger Bean. Plate lxxxii. 
One small specimen brought up in the dredge, 1% 
inches in length. Probably rare. 
77. Nautichthys oculofasciatus (Girard). 
Apparently not uncommon. Several small specimens 
collected in the rock pools and dredged from deep water. 
It reaches a length of 6 or 8 inches. 
78. Blepsias cirrhosus (Pallas). 
Not rare in Puget Sound, where it is taken in seines. 
It reaches a length of 6 inches. Not taken by us.
