seen by the writers are placed in italics. A vertical column is given for 
each of the principal localities, and a cross in any column opposite the 
name of a species indicates that we have obtained or examined, while 
in the field, specimens from the locality in question. In the last column, 
‘S. indicates a general southern distribution, most usually from Point 
Concepcion or Monterey to Magdalena Bay or Cape San Lueas; N. 
indicates a general northern distribution, usually from Monterey or 
Cape Mendocino to Sitka, or beyond; ©. indicates the distinctively 
Californian fauna, the abundance being usually greatest about Monterey 
and San Francisco. This fauna is chiefly composed of the two Vivipa- 
‘rous families Scorpenide and Embiotocide. 
It will be noticed that the number of species obtained in Monterey Bay 
and about San Francisco is considerably greater than at any other points. 
This is partly due to the fact that these regions have more extensive 
fisheries than others. There is no doubt, however, that more species of 
fishes really occur from Monterey to Point Reyes than elsewhere on the 
coast. Monterey Bay is the common meeting ground of the semi-tropi- 
cal and semi-arctic fish fauna. There is nowhere an abrupt change 
along the coast. The three capes, Flattery, Mendocino, and Point Con- 
cepcion, are to some extent points of division.
