BPESCBRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF “ROCK-FISH” (SE BAS TECH- 
EMWS CARNATUS), PROJ TEE COAST OF CALIFGRNIA. 
By DAVID 8S. JORDAN and CHARLES Hi. GILBERT. 
Sebastichthys carnatus sp. nov. 
Allied to Sebastichthys nebulosus Ayres. 
Body rather short and deep, tapering rapidly to a rather slender 
caudal peduncle. Head short, bluntish, the profile straight and steep. 
Mouth low and rather short, the maxillary extending to rather behind 
the posterior edge of the eye, which is rather small and elevated. Pre- 
maxillary entirely below the level of the eye, which is rather small and 
elevated. Mouth nearly horizontal, the jaws about equal, the lower jaw 
slightly shortest in the closed mouth. No prominent symphyseal knob. 
Scales on the head rather rougher than in S. nebulosus; the lower jaw, 
maxillary, space in front of eye, and nasal region naked, as in nebu- 
losus. ; 
Top of head with the spinous ridges well developed, but somewhat 
lower than in S. nebulosus; otherwise very similar. The following pairs 
are present: Nasal, preocular, supraocular, tympanic, and occipital, five 
in all. The occipital spines especially are lower and narrower than in 
nebulosus. 
Preopercular spines small and bluntish, the uppermost rather broader 
than the second, which is the longest. Opercular and suprascapular 
spines two each, rather short and broad. <A slight spine on interopercle 
and suboperele. .
