of the fin, as in JHalarchus snijderi; ventrals situated below the upper 
edge of the base of the pectoral, just reaching the anus. Cirri all distinct, 
ncTer joined at the base in a comb as in DiaJarchus snijderi; 3 pairs of 
2 or 3 cirri each above the orbits, the first directly above the nasal spines, 
3 pairs on top of head behind orbits, a few scattered cirri below these on 
side of head, a bunch of 2 or 3 on end of maxillary, a row on lower margin 
of jireopercle, a large bunch above the preopercular spines, and several 
scattered cirri on margin of opercle ; a row of bunched cirri along the 
anterior half of lateral line, a row along the base of the dorsal, including 
a bunch of 3 or 4 for each spine and ray, the row bending downward at 
the last spine of the first dorsal, leaving a space between the cirri and the 
base of the dorsal spines; a few scattered cirri between the dorsal and 
lateral rows, and below the lateral line behind the pectoral fin. Color 
light brown to all shades of light red, pink, or lavender, spotted et'ery- 
where with white, the spots extremely minute on dorsal half of body, Imt 
more conspicuous veutrally ; 5 wedge-shaped spots of dark brown along 
dorsal Side of body; head dark brown, sometimes blotched with red or 
green, becoming lighter on side, leaving a dark postocular line extending 
from eye to the preopercular spine, and a dark spot on lower margin of 
preopercle, everywhere very finely marked with white and blue; a white 
spot with a brown center just in front of first dorsal; throat and belly a 
very light, bluish green, shading into a faint yellow behind pectoral, and 
a brownish green on each side of anal; all the fins, excepting the veu- 
trals, light brownish green barred with dark brown; caudal light reddish 
brown, anal and tip of pectoral tinged with pinkish. A young individual 
is lighter and more brilliantly colored. This species is most closely allied 
to Dialarehus snijderi, from which it differs in the presence of a third pre- 
opercular spine, the greater depth and comparative length of the head, 
the larger eye and nasal spines, and the arrangement of the cirri. Many 
other specimens taken at Monterey Bay, but it is not recorded from any 
other locality. The most brilliantly colored of the tide-pool fishes, inhab- 
iting only the deep pools rich in plant life, {rubellio, a rosy one.)
