nearly three-fourths of the width of the head at the perpendicular pass- 
ing through their centers. 
The dorsal fin begins over the posterior part of the pupil of the upper 
eye. Its rays are long, widely separated, and with their tips protruding 
beyond the membrane, giving to this, as also to the anal, a ragged, 
irregular appearance. Its greatest height (8) is equal to half the length 
of the head. The anal is inserted under the axil of the pectoral, and its 
héight is about the same as that of the dorsal. 
The length of the caudal (20) is equal to one-fifth of that of the body, 
without including caudal. It is broad, fan-shaped, acutely convex in 
outline. The distance of the ventral from the snout (28) is about one- 
third the length of the base of the dorsal. The arrangement of these 
fins upon the ventral keel is much as in Limanda ferruginea, the right 
fin being almost upon the median line. The pectorals are normal. 
The color is grayish brown, mottled with darker patches. There is a 
conspicuous black blotch upon the outer rays of the caudal on either 
side. 
tadial formula: D. 64; A. 63; C.18; P.7; V.6; lateral line about 88. 
This species is dedicated to my associate Dr. Tarleton H. Bean, of the 
United States National Museum.
