134. Sebastodes macdonaldi (Eigeumann and Beeson). 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1786.) 



Described off San Diego ; length 24 inches ; not seen by us. 



135. Sebastodes ovalis (Ay res). 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1788.) 

 Reported to be rather common by Eigenmann (1892, p. 163), 

 in the San Diego markets ; not seen by us. It ranges northward 

 to San Francisco, and is not very important as a food fish. 



136. Sebastodes alutus (Gilbert). 

 (Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1790, fig. 661.) 

 The type of this species was taken by the U. S. S. Albatross 

 near Santa Cruz Island. It has not since been taken on the Cali- 

 fornia coast, but it is abundant about the Aleutian Islands (Gil- 

 bert, 1893, p. 408). 



137. Sebastodes proriger (Jordan and Gilbert). 

 (Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1792.) 

 This species is rather abundant in deep water off San Diego. 

 Said by Eigenmann (1892, p. 164) to reach a length of two feet. 

 It is not usually found, however, to exceed a foot in length. It 

 ranges northward to San Francisco (Jordan and Gilbert, 1880, 

 p. 455). 



138. Sebastodes pinniger (Gill). 



ORANGE ROCKPISH. 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1793, fig. 662.) 

 Not very abundant southward ; one specimen seen in the mar- 

 ket at San Diego. It ranges north to Puget Sound (Jordan and 

 Gilbert, 1880, p. 455), and about San Francisco; is one of the 

 most abundant and important of the rockfishes. 



139. Sebastodes miniatus (Jordan and Gilbert). 



RASCIERA. 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1794.) 

 This is a large and important fish at San Diego ; it is repre- 

 sented in every boat load of rockfishes that is brought in. The
