The collection of fish in the Stanford University Museum has recently had added to it a specimen of lampris guttatus, or moonfish, of the dolphin family. These fish are very rarely secured as specimens although in the waters about Madeira they are tolerably numerous. The reason why they are so difficult to secure is because their habits are pelagic and they appear only singly near the coasts. As they are from four to six feet long and large in proportion, they cannot be caught by ordinary means, and so escape. The above specimen came from Monterey Bay. The National Museum has the only other specimen of the moonfish in the United States. The collection of fishes there and in the Harvard Museum are the only ones in the country larger than the Stanford collection. The Harvard collection ranks second.
