. California fish and game. Fisheries -- California; Game and game-birds -- California; Fishes -- California; Animal Population Groups; Pêches; Gibier; Poissons. 84 CALIFORNIA FISH AND CAME central, and western Pacific (Caldwell 1962; Gosline and Brock 1960). In the eastern Pacific, they appear to be even more abundant at the Revillagigedos islands than at Alijos Rocks, but do not attain such a large size. Ten or more than 50 individuals caught in gill nets set overnight just upcoast from Braithwaite Bay, Socorro Island (Revillagigedos), during April 1955 had the following counts: D X, 13; A III, 13-14; GR 5-6 + 17-21 = 22-26; vert. 10 + 13 = 23. In overall morphology, the sagittae of P. cruentatus are more similar to those of Cookeo/us and Pseudopriacanthus (the remaining genera of family Priacan- thidae), than they are to those from other species of Priacanthus (Figure 2). Observable differences between otoliths of cruentatus and those from six other species of Priacanthus {alalaua, arenatus, hamrur, macaracanthus, meeki, and tayenus) seem to be of generic magnitude, but we do not advocate changing their generic status without investigating and evaluating a multitude of other features, especially internal anatomy. We have no plans for making such a study; we merely wished to draw attention to this anomalous situation. The 507-mm catalufa from Alijos Rocks has been deposited in the LACM ichthyology collection; whereas the 455-mm specimen was placed in the UCLA collection.
