2G8 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. 



range southwards to the coast of New England. The Norwegian North Atlantic expedition 

 has obtained specimens down to 223 fathoms (off Bear Island), and therefore the species 

 is included in this report. As bathyhial characters, the width of the pores of the mucifer- 

 ous system and the relatively large eye may be mentioned." 



It has been identified by Dawson from the Pleistocene of Ottawa (Dawson, Canadian 

 Record, iv, 86.)

ICELINUS, Jordan. 



Icelinus, Jordan-, Vat. Fish. N. Amor., 18X7, 111, note. — Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat Mus., xm, 1890, 84 (with 

 key to species of Icelinus). 



Cottids, with body slender, fusiform, having lateral line with a series of spinous plates, 

 above which along the back is a double series of spinous plates placed at an angle; the 

 upper plates with free edge downward and backward, the lower plates with free edge up- 

 ward and backward, the skin otherwise perfectly smooth. Top of head uneven; interorbital 

 area concave. Head without developed scales. Upper preopercular spine long, with 5 

 hooked processes. 



The type of the genus is Artedius quadriseriatus, Lockington. The type species is 

 not found in very deep water, but four other species have recently been described by Gilbert 

 from the coast of California, taken by the Albatross between 100 and 150 fathoms.
