There is no evidence, how- ever, that the individual fish can change its color, and these color forms seem to be distinct races within the species. Xererpes fucorum of California lies quiescent in the sea-weed (Fucus) after the tide recedes, its form, color, and substance seeming to corre- spond exactly with those of the stems of algse. Pholis gunnellus Fig. 457.âGunnel, Pholis gunnellus (L.). Gloucester, JMass. is the common gunnel (gtinwale), or butter-fish, of both shores of the North Atlantic, with ntimerous allies in the North Pacific. Of these, Enedrias nebulosus, the ginpo, or silver-tail, is especially common in Japan. Xiphidion and Xiphistes of the California coast, and Dictyosoma of Japan, among others, are remarkable for the great number of lateral lines, these extending crosswise yws:â'â >«/>Jf'»»>.â A^UM'JJMii^'.»l»l<,m ,.
