This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...Scales small, finely ctenoid; covering the body, snout posteriorly, the occiput, cheeks, opercles and maxillary; fin membranes, tip of snout, interorbital, premaxillary and lower jaw naked. Spinous dorsal high, third spine highest, equaling one half head; eleventh spine much shorter than the twelfth; first spine shorter still. Soft dorsal lower, rounded, height three and one fourth in head. Anal fin high, second spine much larger and heavier than third, its height slightly less than one half the head. Soft anal higher than the spinous, rays more or less free at tip. Ventrals long and pointed, extending to first anal spine. Pectorals broad and fan-shaped, median rays longest, reaching third anal spine. Coloration in Life.--Above bright red, the belly lighter, pinkish, dorsum and head above the level of the preopercular spine spotted or indistinctly streaked with dark olive-brown, spotted heaviest about the base of the dorsal fin; sides below the dorsal fin streaked obliquely with olive-brown; fins, spines and rays red, the membranes whitish, yellowish in the dorsal; the soft dorsal and caudal fins spotted with olive-brown; upper half of pectorals olive spotted; the soft anal with a dusky central streak. In general form and coloration this species approaches P. sierra Gilbert, from the Gulf of California, but differs in the scaled maxillary, the higher and differently proportioned spinous dorsal and in the greater number and streaked character of the dark markings. The type was taken from the stomach, of a shark (Carcharhinus platyrhynchus) near Wenman Island. MEASUREMENTS OF THE TYPE OF PontttlUS strigdtUS. Maxillary Snout Height of Spinous Dorsal.. Height of Spinous Anal Pectoral Ventral Depth of Caudal Peduncle.. 19 12 19 20 3o 26 ELEOTRIS TUBULARIS sp. nov..
