Table of Fin Rays. 



The following table of measurements shows that there 

 are no differences in proportions between northern and 

 southern specimens. The larger eye in the type of C.

 of the specimen. 



In our Pescadero specimens the ground color is light 

 grayish olive, the back and the upper half of the sides 

 marked with dark specks, arranged in lines which interlace 

 to form a regular coarse meshwork, which encloses polygonal 

 spaces of the ground color. Where these lines cross the

 cycloid scales, with reduced spinous dorsal and elongate 

 soft dorsal and anal, with large mouth and more or less
