Genus Cottus Linnaeus 1758 
Cottus sp. 
Referred Specimens in Wagner et al. 11997:171 : They listed cf. Cottus among the vertebrates recovered from 
the Secret Valley-Mudflat locality (no locality number), upper Alturas Formation, Early Pliocene, Lassen 
County; 
Referred Specimen identified as Cottus sp. in Smith et al ( 2002:225. table 11 : From Secret Valley (no locality 
number), upper Alturas Formation, Early Pliocene, Lassen County; Identification was based on a basioc- 
cipital (no museum number). 
Genus Enophrys Swainson 1839 
Enophrys taurinus Gilbert 1914 
Selected References (fossils only) 
Enophrys taurinus Gilbert 1914:135. 
Enophrys taurinus Gilbert: Fitch 1967:15. 
Enophrys taurinus Gilbert: Nolf 1985:78. 
Type Specimen : Extant, Enophrys taurinus Gilbert, holotype, USNM 75064 (Eschmeyer 1998:1654). 
Type Locality : Monterey Bay, near Pacific Grove, California. 
Referred Specimens in Fitch ( 1967:151 : No specific specimens. He notes that otoliths of E. taurinus have been 
found in several southern California Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits. 
Referred Specimens in Nolf 11985:781 : No specific specimens. He cites Fitch (1967) that otoliths of E. tauri¬ 
nus have been found in the California Pliocene. 
Remarks : Because Fitch (1967) did not give any specific fossil locality containing otoliths of E. taurinus, its 
presence in the Neogene of California is questionable. 
Genus Icelinus Jordan 1885 
Icelinus Jilamentosus Gilbert 1890 
Selected References (fossils only) 
Icelinus Jilamentosus Gilbert 1890: Fitch 1968:19.

Referred Specimens in Fitch 11968:191 : No specific specimens. He notes that otoliths of I. Jilamentosus have 
been found in several southern California Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits. 
Referred Specimens in Nolf 11985:781 : No specific specimens. He cites Fitch (1968) that otoliths of I. Jila¬ 
mentosus have been found in the California Pliocene. 
Remarks : Because Fitch (1968) did not give any specific fossil locality containing otoliths of I. Jilamentosus, 
its presence in the Neogene of California is questionable.
