New coccidia from the spiny dogfish shark, Squalus acanthias, and the great sculpin, Myoxocephalus polyacanthocephalus, from waters around the San Juan Islands, Puget Sound, Washington, are described and named. Thirty-one species of bony and two species of cartilaginous fishes were examined. Twenty-eight of 71 dogfish and one of four sculpins were infected with coccidia.
