SIXTY of the sixty-nine species here reported were collected by the writer while he was a member of the California Division of Fish and Game Lower California Expedition of 1931.

The fish were collected by seining, by hook and line, by dip-netting under a drop-light at night, and in tide pools. All of the methods were fairly successful. Ten species were collected by Ira L.
