This fish, which has evidently not been noted from as far north as San Pedro before, is recorded from the Gulf of California southward to Panama on the Pacific side, as well as in the tropical Atlantic and from southern France. It is considerably smaller than the California flj'ing fish, scarcely exceeding seven inches in length. It differs from ours in having a pointed lower jaw, a much higher dorsal fin, and a pectoral fin which does not reach past the dorsal fin. Its color is dark greenish blue on the back, growing abruptly silvery at the side, an opalescent violet band about the width of the eye extending along the lower part of the side. The lining of the mouth is a beauti- ful peacock Fig. 108. Sharp-nose flying fish, Fodiator acutus. Photo by Richard S. Croker.

This fish has been recorded from San Diego to Panama, but it is a rare visitor as far north as Los Angeles County. It is easily recognized by the very hard.
