The single specimen we have examined is noteworthy in that it 

 is dextral, while the type specimen is sinistral. Probably the 

 species is indifferently one or the other. The gillrakers are short, 

 6 + 11. The antrorse preanal spine is well developed. 



The species is readily separated from Hlppoglossina siomata by 

 the much larger mouth of the latter. It differs from H. bollmanni, 

 its nearest relative, in the somewhat greater number of dorsal and 

 anal rays, and especially in the number of gillrakers, which are 

 3 + 9 in that species. The interorbital ridge is continued upon the 

 side of the head in the type of bollmaani, so as to form a doubly 

 curved lateral ridge; in macrops the interorbital ridge is flatter and 

 fades away at the border of the upper orbit.

Sebastodes jenynsi Abbott, new species. 



This species belongs to the rosaceus group, and resembles very 

 closely its East Pacific relatives, Sebastodes oculatus and *S*. dar- 

 ivini. It is easily distinguished from S. rosaceus by the much 

 larger eye of the lattei* as well as by its lower spinous dorsal and 

 slightly greater depth. From oculatus it is separated especially 

 by its considerably greater depth and fewer anal rays, and from 

 darwini by its longer pectoral and much shorter second anal spine. 

 The arrangement of the four spots of color also differs markedly 

 from that in the other species sharing this character, rosaceus, con- 

 stellatus, rhodochloris, chlorostictus and oculatus. 



Mr. Cramer'^ remarks that in view of the fact that fifty species 

 of the genus are known to inhabit the north temperate waters of 

 Pacific North America, it is not improbable that the species will be 

 found equally numerous on the temperate South American coast. 

 Heretofore but two species have been described from this region, 

 although Jenyns mentions the drawing of another in the possession 

 of Darwin with the spinous development less marked and ap- 

 proaching in some of its characters *S'. ciliatus {S. variabilis Cuv. 

 and Val.). This may or may not be the same as the specimen in 

 hand, but ours has little affinity Avith ciliatus.
