FISHES OF SINALOA. 503 



224. Citharichthys gilberti Jenkins & Evermann. Len- 



GUADO. 



Very common everywhere in the Astillero, and also 

 ascending the Rio Presidio in the fresh waters nearly as 

 far as the village of Presidio. In fresh water the color is 

 considerably brighter than in the sea, and these fresh 

 water specimens correspond to those described by Jordan 

 & Goss as Citharichthys sumichrasti. These seem to be, 

 however, of the same species. 



225. Azevia panamensis (Steindachner). 



Common in the Astillero, reaching a length of about 

 eight inches. The following is a count of the fin rays 

 of nine specimens: D. 95, A. 75; D. 89, A. 67; D. 92, 

 A. 71; D. 89, A. 71; D. 94, A. 74; D. 89, A. 71; D. 

 90, A. 72; D. 92, A. 71; D. 91, A. 72. 



These specimens seem to be inseparable from Azevia 

 ■panatnensis. 



ii(}. Etropus crossotus Jordan & Gilbert. 



Rather common in the Astillero with the preceding 

 species, but reaching a smaller size, rarely exceeding 

 four inches. On careful comparison of our specimens 

 with others from Beaufort, Pensacola, Panama, and other 

 localities, we are unable to find any differences. The 

 color varies with the bottom, some being plain light 

 brown, others are much mottled with lighter or with 

 darker. 



227. Hippoglossina macrops Steindachner. 



This species was described by Steindachner from a 

 specimen obtained at Mazatlan. We have not seen it. 



228. Paralichthys adspersus (Steindachner). 



Ver}^ common in the bay and Astillero at Mazatlan, 

 and in fact everywhere on the coast from Guaymas and
