Those of the warmer regions (bastard halibut) have the eyes and color on the left. These grow progressively smaller in size to the southward, the mouth being smaller and more feebly armed in southern species. The largest of the family, and the one commercially of far greatest importance, is the halibut (Hippoglossus hippogLossus). This species is found on both shores of both oceans, north of about the latitude of Paris, Boston, Cape Mendocino, and Mat- sushima Ba
