PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 69 Table of Measurements— Cont'mued. Additional Radial Formulas. Washington, May 14, 1879. REVIEW OF THE I»i:.E«JK©lVEC1fB5iE OF SAN FRANCISCO. By \Y. N. LOCKINGTOJV. The PJeuronectidcc of the Pacific Coast have been described by Girard (Proc. Acad. :N^at. Sci. Phil. VII, 1854 ; VIII, 185G ; and PaC. Eail. Rep. Vol. X, 145-156), by Ayies (Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci. 1855, Vol. I, 40, and Vol. II, 1859, 29-30), by Giinther (Cat. Fish. Brit. Mus. Vol. IV, 18G2, pp. 399-457), and by Gill (Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1802, 280-281 ; 18G4, 194-199 ; and 1865, 177). The greater nnrnber of the species was charac-terized by the first of these authors 5 but as the materials at hand were insufficient for thorough description, consisting usually of single or im-mature examples, the descriptions were necessarily incomplete. Dr. W. O. Ayres, among the many valuable additions to our ichthyological knowledge made by him during his residence on this coast, added two valid species to the list of our flounders. Dr. A. Giinther enumerates the species described by Girard and Ayres, but collocates some of them
