than eye; preopercular spine well developed, broad, rather sharp, partly 

 covered by skin, curved upward ; below this 2 other spines, the anterior 

 one blunt, the other sharp, directed toward lower base of pectoral; post- 

 temporal spine well developed. Body smooth, wholly without prickles or 

 scales ; lateral line complete except on caudal peduncle. Color dark above 

 and on upper of sides, pale below; dorsal tins barred with series of dark 

 dots or blotches; caudal similarly marked but rather darker; anal light 

 with a few dark blotches; pectorals same as caudal; ventrals plain; under 

 side of head profusely covered with small round black specks; muciferous 

 pores on head well developed. Klamath Lakes, Oregon. Besides the 

 specimen described above we have 2 others of the same slender style from 

 Pelican Bay, Upper Klamath Lake, and many others from the lake near 

 Klaniath Falls, the majority of which are much smaller and less slender. 

 The slender ones are apparently entirely smooth ; a ripe female 3 inches 

 long has a few prickles on anterior part of body, while all the smaller ones 

 are pretty well covered with small prickles. (Evermann & Meek.) (tenuis, 

 slender.)

D. VI, 17; A. 12; P. 14; V. I, 3. Body slender and elongated, its depth 6 

 times in length. Head large and long, 3 in length of body, its width a 

 little more than | its length, its depth a little less. Eye large, 3 in head, 

 about equal to snout, more than twice interorbital space. Base of pecto- 

 rals crescentic, the fin about as long as head ; the lower rays rapidly short- 

 ened, reaching second or third dorsal ray, and falling just short of anal, 

 fourth and fifth rays longest. Vent equidistant between base of caudal 

 and front of eye. Mouth pretty wide and oblique, the maxillary reaching 

 to middle of eye ; louver jaw projecting. No palatine teeth. Preopercular 

 spine large, directed upward and backward, not strongly hooked. First 

 dorsal rather high, f the height of the second, the second spine longest 

 and filamentous, the 2 fins connected by a membrane. Caudal peduncle
