145. Sebastodes melanostomus Eigenmann and Eigenmann. 

 (Jordan and Evermaun, 1898, II, p. 1803.) 



Known only from the type, about 22 inches in length, from off 

 Point Loma ; probably rare. 



146. Sebastodes introniger (Gilbert). 

 (Jordan and Evermann. 1898, II, p. 1803.) 



This species was described from two specimens taken by the 

 U. S. S. Albatross about the Santa Barbara Islands in 266 fath- 

 oms, and has since been taken by the Albatross near Unalaska 

 Island in depths of from 85 to 350 fathoius. 



147. Sebastodes ruberrimus Cramer. 



RED ROCKFISII. 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1805.) 



This is one of the largest of the rockfishes, reaching a length 

 of 30 inches. It is found from Puget Sound (Jordan and Gilbert, 

 1880, p. 455) to San Diego. Eigenmann (1892, p. 164) records it 

 from the latter locality under the name Sebastodes ruber. 



148. Sebastodes COnstellatus (Jordan and Gilbert). 



SPOTTED ROCKFISII. 



(Jordan and Evermann. 1898, II, p. 1806.) 



Specimens seen in the San Diego markets on several occasions. 

 It ranges north to San Francisco (Jordan and Gilbert, 1880, p. 

 455), and is generally common. It is a well-marked species and 

 may be known by the color : bright red with shades of orange, 

 olive on the back, everywhere covered with small flakes of white 

 or light rose color. 



149. Sebastodes umbrosus (Jordan and Gilbert). 

 (Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1807.) 



One specimen taken in deep water off Point Loma. This is 

 apparently a rare species, and is confined to the coast of Cali- 

 fornia below Point Conception.
