In addition to the above facts in regard to the distribution of the 
species, it should be added that two of the species, Lyreidus Bairdit 
and Nephropsis aculeata, belong to genera heretofore known only from 
the Pacific region, and each represented there by a single species only ; 
while a third species, Lysiosquilla armata, has its nearest known ally in 
a species known only from the same region. 
Of the fifty species enumerated, fourteen are described as new and 
three others are indicated as probably new; forty-three are here first 
recorded as belonging to the New England fauna south of Cape Cod; 
twenty-eight are new to the whole fauna from Cape Hatteras to North- 
ern Labrador; and twenty-one are new to America, including Green- 
land. Of the forty-three species new to the Southern New England 
fauna, fifteen are now known also from the New England fauna north 
of Cape Cod; and of the remaining twenty-eight, four were already 
known from the Straits of Florida, three from Greenland and Northern 
‘Europe, and two from the Mediterranean.

LIST OF THE FISHES OF THE PACIFIC COAST OF THE UNITED 
STATES, WITH A TABLE SHOWING THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE 
SPECIES. 
By DAVID S. JORDAN and CHARLES H. GILBERT. 
The writers have been engaged during most of the present year (1880) 
in making investigations of the fish and fisheries of the Pacific coast 
of the United States, in the interest of the United States Fish Commis- 
sion and the United States Census Bureau. Extensive collections have 
been made at each of the principal fishing ports from New Westminster 
to San Diego. 
In the present paper a catalogue is given of the species now known 
to inhabit the Pacific Ocean between the mouth of Fraser’s River on 
the north and San Diego on the south. The names of the species not
