 170. Pallasina barbata (Steindachner). 



Twelve specimens, 2.25 to 4 inches long, seined in Funter Bay; one, 4.75 inches long, seined in 

 Kilisut Harbor; two, 3.8 and 5 inches long, seined in Cleveland Passage; all collected by the Albatross 

 in 1903. 



These specimens might just as well be called P. air, except for the 3 or more rows of plates (some 

 times 2) on median line in front of ventrals. P. air is said to have but 2 and the neighboring plates small. 

 These specimens have 2 or 3, and the other plates small or large. The barbel is short, in barbata it 

 should be long. 



Recorded as Siphagonus barbata (Bean 1882) from Port Mulgrave, Yakutat Bay; Unalaska; Port 

 Clarence. Albatross stations 3239, 3240, 3242 to 3245, and 3258, all in Bristol Bay (Gilbert 1893). 

 Iliuliuk. Unalaska (Turner 188G). Port Clarence (Scofield 1897).

Recorded from Chignik Bay (Scofield 1899). 



172. Podothecus acipenserinus (Tilesius). 



Thirteen specimens, 2 to 5.5 inches, no label, but probably from Alaska; ten, 3 to 8.5 inches long, 

 collected by the Albatross at stations 3598, 3600, and at Port Ludlow; twenty-five. 4.5 to 8 inches long, 

 collected by the Albatross in 1903 at stations 4270 to 1272, 4276, and 4296; also at Marrowstone Point,

In most of the specimens the plates on caudal peduncle have spines, which is contrary to current 

 descriptions. The color also is different in our specimens; in most of them the black streaks between 

 plates are absent; the 3 Mark bars on caudal peduncle and the one under anterior part of soft dorsal 

 arc not noted in current description!
