caudal; the eye larger; and broad incisor-like teeth on blind side 

 only. » 



This species is hitherto unrecorded south of Monterey ; it 

 ranges northward to ITnalaska (Gilbert, 1893, p. 460) and south- 

 ward to San Diego (Gilbert, MS. notes). It is common in deep 

 water and does not exceed a pound in weight. 



242. Glyptocephalus zachirus Lockington. 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1898, I, p. 2658.) 



Records by Dr. Gilbert (MS. notes) extend the range of this 

 species southward to Southern California. It is common north- 

 ward to Bering Sea (Gilbert, 1893, p. 460). 



243. Citharichthys sordidus (Girard). 



(Jordan and Evermann, 1898, III. p. 2679, fig. 943.) 



This flounder is very common in waters of moderate depths 

 fi'om British Columbia (Bean, 1884, p. 353) to Cerros Island, 

 Lower California (Gilbert, MS. notes). It rarely exceeds two 

 pounds in weight. 



244. Citharichthys stigmaeus Jordan and Gilbert. 

 (Jordan and Evermann, 1898, III, p. 2681.) 



Specimens from San Diego and San Pedro. They agree with 

 the description of the type (Jordan and Gilbert, 1892, p. 411) 

 in most respects, but have from 59 to 62 pores in the lateral line 

 (not 54), and have scales on the posterior part of the interorbital 

 ridge. A specimen taken by the U. S. S. Albatross off the coast 

 of Oregon agrees with our specimens in these respects. 



This species may be known from Citharichthys sordidus in 

 having a sharp interorbital space. It is found in deep water fi'om 

 San Diego to Oregon, and is rather rare.
