South of Monterey Bay it has not been reported in abundance. The Rex "Sole" (Glyptocephalus zachirus). The rex "sole" is a slender flounder covered with smooth, fine scales. It may be known by its slender pectoral which is much longer than the bead, and the lateral line without an abrupt arch in front. The mouth is very small, with the maxillary reaching past the front of the lower eye. The eyes are very large and separated by a flat narrow .space that bears fine scales. The lower eye is slightly in advance. The dorsal begins above the middle of the eye. The ventrals are small, or about equal to the long diameter of the eye in Fig. 100. The Rex "Sole" iGlyptocephalus zachirus'). This flounder is common in deep water from San Francisco north- ward to Bering Sea, and it has been taken as far south as southern California. It is sometimes caught in great abundance by the paran- zella nets. It scarcely exceeds a foot in length. As a food fish it has been little appreciated, for it has been uncertain in its appearance in the markets. A fish that can not be counted upon to appear every day in the fish stalls, at least in its season, does not easily become a popular fish, for the caterers can not put it on a menu, and the menu is the chief source of advertising that a fish gets.
