It frequents sandy shores. Colour, light olivaceous, tinged with dark punctulations; belly whitish; pectorals pale in the young, black in the adult. The young of some species of thread-fish, probably P. octo- nemns, are common along the Texas coast where they are often seen in large numbers in shallow water on sandy bottom. These fishes vary greatly with age, the pectoral filaments becoming much shorter with age. P. operciilaris is an unimportant species found on our Pacific Coast from Cape San Lucas to Panama. It is generally common and reaches only a few inches in length. 262.
