SYSTEMATIC DISCUSSION OF NEW SPECIES 



In the following pages those species recently found on the Pacific 

 coast of North America which have proved to be new to science are 

 described in detail from a study of both living specimens and prepared 

 sections. Only those anatomical features are discussed, however, 

 which offer peculiarities not found in most related species or wliich 

 are of special interest from a morphological standpoint. 



Included with the species new to science are certain forms which 

 have not previously been recorded from the Pacific coast of North 

 America. Of these only the most striking anatomical peculiarities are 

 mentioned. 



Descriptions of only those genera which were not represented in 

 the collections described in Part I of this report are given place here. 

 For the remaining generic descriptions the reader is referred to Part I, 

 previous article.

pi. XV, figs. 5, 6; pi. XXII, figs. 2, 3. 



In general shape of body this species resembles those which are 

 most typical of the genus, as C. superba^ C. capistrata^ C. sexlineata^ 

 and wliich have rather firm, moderately slender bodies. Head much 

 broader than body, rounded or emarginate in front, much flattened 

 dorso-ventrally, sharply marked off from body by deep, lateral, trans-
