This species is rather rare at Sail Diego. In all characters but the 

 parietals the single specimen now in the National Museum agrees with 

 this genus. The parietals are, however, unquestionably united in this 

 specimen. The other specimens we have not been able to examine in 

 this respect. For the present we have thought best to place this spe- 

 cies in the genus Sehastomus.
