of the pectoral. Known northward to San Francisco, where a 

 specimen was collected in the market by Dr. Jordan. It has not 

 before been recorded north of Santa Barbara. 



98. Genyonemus lineatus (A3 res). 



KINGFISH. 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1460.) 



Several specimens were taken at San Pedro. The young from 

 one and one-half to three inches in length differ from the adults 

 in having a rather strong spine at the angle of the preopercle, 

 with a weaker one above and below. The oblique dark stripes are 

 absent, but there are about twelve wide, dark, vertical bars on 

 side of body and head, which often extend on to the back. 



It is known from San Francisco southward to Todos Santos 

 Bay (Jordan and McGregor, 1898, p. 279). 



99. Umbrina roncador Jordan and Gilbert. 



YELLOW-TAILED CROAKER. 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1467.) 



This species was very common about San Diego Bay in July 

 and August, though it was not seen early in the year. Known 

 south to Pesqueiia Bay, Lower California (the type locality), and 

 north to San Francisco. Here recorded from the latter locality 

 for the first time from a specimen collected in the market by Dr. 

 Jordan. 



100. Menticirrhus undulatus (Girard). 



CALIFORNIA WHITING. 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1476, fig. 570.) 



A specimen 16 inches in lengih, taken in San Diego Bay, 

 differs from current descriptions in the following proportions: 

 Head 4% in body to base of caudal ; depth 5. Eye 8 in head, 3 

 in snout, 2 in interorbital space. Highest dorsal spine 1% in 

 head. Tips of dorsal spines when reclined reach to dorsal rays. 



Known southward to the head of the Gulf of California ( Gil- 

 bert, MS. notes) and northward to Santa Barbara (Jordan and 

 Gilbert, 1880, p. 456).
