Fishes -- United States. The Bastard Halibuts flounder in the mottled colouration, while from each it is dis- tinguished by its fewer dorsal and anal rays, it attains a length of about 2 feet. The four-spotted flounder, P. ohlongus, is rather common on the coast of Cape Cod and neighbouring islands. It is a good food-fish and may be known by the 4 large, horizontal oblong black ocelli, each surrounded by a pinkish border, on side of body. The genus Limanda contains one species, the Alaska dab, L. aspera, which is of some food-value. This is a species of the northern Pacific and Bering Sea and is found on both coasts. On our coast it is generally common as fjir south as Vancouver Island. In Bristol Bay it is particularly abundant and is regarded as being an excellent food-fish. There are 3 other species of Limanda but none of them of any value commercially except the rusty dab, L. ferruginea. This ,^vM^*-Vv\V\., ^. small flounder is found on our Atlantic Coast from New York to Labrador and is not uncommon northward. Though small, it is a good food-fish. The genus Pseudopleuronectes contains one very important species. This is the winter flounder or common flatfish, P. americaniis. The winter flounder is one of the most abundant species on our Atlantic Coast, ranging south to the Carolinas and north to Labrador. It is especially abundant in southern New England and New York. It is not a large species, as it rarely exceeds 528.
