About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ...The name is from luiyioua, a twisted object. Family SYN GNATHIDE. 30. Syngnathus avus Jordan and Gilbert, new species. (Plate XXIX, fig. 2) The fossil pipe-fish, here described (Nos. V, XLVI, etc.) as new, was obtained in the Miocene chalk-shale near Titus Avenue, Bairdstown, a suburb of Los Angeles. The material consists of twelve specimens more or less complete. All are apparently of the same species. Head seven in length to base of caudal; body rings 18 + 43=61; dorsal 36; dorsal on rings % +7%; pouch rings 22; caudal 6; pectoral 12; snout 1.8 in head; eye 10.6; depth 3.1; dorsal base in head 1.3; dorsal height in its length 4.25; caudal in head 4.4; body in tail 2.4; extent of latter 1 line to 22. Body long and slender, covered with bony plates united in rings, as usual in SYNGNATHUS, egg-pouch, sub-caudal; dorsal fin beginning slightly in advance of the vent, its base short; head in line with axis of body, caudal straight. Dorsal-lateral caudal ridge not continuous with lateral line nor with the dorsal ridge; pectoral fin well developed; caudal fin small, having more than six rays; gill-cover stria e coarse; ridges prominent; lattice-work of the plates faint; stellar platelets angularly oval, dorsal high. This species is evidently closely related to the living species of the California coast and seems nearest to SYNGNATHUS LEPTORHYNCHUS Girard, a species common from San Francisco to San Diego, and to S. CALIFORNIENSIS Storer. It has more dorsal rays (36 instead of 30 to 32), and its rings are l8+43, instead of 17 to 18+ 36 to 41. The snout also is longer, length in adult 12.5, young 10.6, while in_S. us?TORHYNCHUS 15.4 and 17.2.
