NEW AND RARE FISHES FROM 

 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 



BY 

 EDWIN CHAPIN STARKS and WILLIAM M. MANN 



(Contribution from the Laboratory of the Marine Biological Association of San Diego) 



The following report is of a collection of fishes made in the 

 vicinity of La Jolla and San Diego, California, by the Marine 

 Biological Association of San Diego at various times since 1907. 

 The collection also includes a few specimens taken at Cerros 

 Island, Lower California, in the summer of 1908. Only that 

 part of the collection that is of interest on account of hitherto 

 unrecorded characters or distribution is here included. When 

 locality is not specified specimens are from the general vicinity 

 of San Diego. 



The accompanying drawings are by Chloe Lesley Starks. 



Etrumeus micropus Schlegel 



AVe may note here the receipt at Stanford University of two 

 specimens of this species from San Diego. They were sent by 

 Mr. A. V. Pearson, who states the species to be common. From 

 the fact that it has not been seen by any collector since it was 

 described twenty years ago by Rosa Smith Eigenmann under 

 the name of Perkinsia orthonops {American Naturalist, 1891, p. 

 153), it is remarkable that it should be at any time common, 

 especially in light of the many collections that have been made
