This specimen iloulitless was born during the winter. ThtM' facts indicate rather conclusively that the re]jroductive period is in the winter montlis wiiile the fisli are in the outer waters. The young of tlie first siunmer conn- close inshore during tio(jd tides, and may be taken in traps as the tide er)bs. They h;ive also been fouml around rocks uncovered at the tinn- of low tides. A study of the ;if!;e of the fish has been made by means of the otolitiis (ear stones) and the vertebrcjp. The scales which are usually used for the determination of the age of a fish were found unsuitable. In this stuily the ear stones have been founil (piite satisfactory but the vertebra- not relitible in the higln-r years thoU)>h serving as a rough check on tiie otolith determinations. About eighty specimens ranging in size from ;! inches to '-'8' inches.
