176. Chitonotus pugetensis (Steindachner). 

 (Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1890, fig. 687.) 



Specimens from San Pedro. A specimen in the Stanford Uni- 

 versity collections taken by the U. S. S. Albatross near San Diego 

 extends the range of this species southward. It grows to a length 

 of six inches, and ranges north to Puget Sound (the type local- 

 ity) , being not rare in water of moderate depth. A specimen I14 

 inches in length has the upper preopercular spine bifid with no 

 trace of additional prongs. The adults agree with the description 

 by Jordan and Evermann in this as in other characters. 



177. Tarandichthys cavifrons (Gilbert). 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1891.) 



One specimen from San Pedro. It is known only from about 



the Santa Barbara Islands in rather deep water. Length 31/0 



inches. It may be known from other species of TarandieJitlnjs by 



a pit-like depression at the occiput. 



178. Tarandichthys filamentosus (Gilbert). 

 (Jordan and Evermann. 1898, II, p. 1892.) 

 Coast of Southern California in rather deep water ; no speci- 

 mens seen by us. It reaches a length of 9 inches. It may be 

 known from Tarandichthys tenuis by the first two dorsal spines 

 being produced into long filaments which reach to the middle of 

 the soft dorsal. 



179. Tarandichthys tenuis (Gilbert). 

 (Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II. p. 1893.) 

 Several specimens from San Pedro. This species is known 

 only from the vicinity of the Santa Barbara Islands in rather 

 deep water. The second dorsal spine is sometimes slightly pro- 

 duced, but is never long. 



180. Icelinus fimbriatus Gilbert. 

 (Jordan and Evermann, 1898, II, p. 1895.) 

 Known from specimens taken by the U. S. S. Albatross in 

 rather deep water off the Santa Barbara Islands. It may be
