It is named for Dr. Carl H. Eigenmann, of the Uni-

Closely allied to Sebastodes rosaceus. Spines similar in 

 number, but a trifle higher; upper spines on preopercle 

 longest. Gill -rakers slender, x-f 18, nearly as long as 

 pupil. Jaws subequal. Pectoral short, i^ in head, the 

 lower rays thickened; second anal spine long, curved. 

 A. Ill, 6. Compared with a specimen of S . rosaceus of 

 the same size, the snout is blunter in S. darwini, the 

 cranial ridges are a shade higher; the pectoral is shorter, 

 reaching only to vent (while in S . rosaceus it reaches to 

 second anal spine; second arml spine much longer than
