gill-rakers (35 to 39 instead of about 25). The body is more slender, the eye (usually) 

 rather larger, the teeth feebler, and the pectoral fin apparently longer. 



I have followed Gill in regarding Gadus poutassou as the type of a genus related to 

 Pollachius and Boreogadus, and distinguished from them by the dentition, the anterior 

 position of the vent, the long first anal fin and the short second dorsal fin. A glance at 

 the various species is sufficient to show that the old composite genus, Gadus, of Giinther 

 and other writers cannot be maintained, but a thorough revision of the whole family 

 will be necessary before the limits of the various groups into which it has been subdivided 

 can be ascertained. 



Genus Salilota, Giinther 

 1887, Deep-Sea Fish. 'Challenger' , p. 95. Type Haloporphyrus australis, Giinther. 

 This genus is scarcely separable from Physiculus, Kaup, the only important difference 

 being the presence of a patch of vomerine teeth in Salilota. It is also closely related 

 to Lepidio7t, Swainson [= Haloporphyrus, Giinther].
