 has obtaiaed specimens down to 223 fathoms (off Bear Ishind), and therefoi'e the species 

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

 ous system and the rehitively hirge eye may be mentioned."

 Record, IV, 86.)

ICELINUS, Jordan. 



Iceliniis, Jordan, Cat. Fish. N. Araer., 1887, HI, note.— Gilbert, Proc U. S. Nat Mus., xiii, 1890, 8t (with 

 key to species of Iceliniis). 



Gottids, 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 ijlates with free edge downward and backward, the lower jjlates 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. 



Tlie type of the genus is Artedins quadriseriatuSj Lockingtou. 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.
