Xo. 33889, U.S.X.M. (1948). Bering Island, May 12, 1883; L. Stej- 

 neger. 



A young exami)le, 50 mm. long, from the stomach of a cod (Gadus 

 morrhun). D. XI, 15; A. 18. On account of the size and condition of 

 the specimen its identification is doubtful; indeed, the armor of the 

 head and its length resemble those characters in galeatus rather than 

 pistilUger. 



CYCLOPTERICHTHYS VENTRICOSUS (Steindachner), Jordan and Gilbert. 



Xo. 33837, U.S.X.M. (2012), Bering Island, May 7, 1883; L. Stej- 

 neger. 



"This is the MiaJcaia Riha or Mialcinka, i. e., soft fish. The first one 

 of this spring (1883) was taken on March 21, and they were afterwards 

 found in great numbers on the beach up to the middle of May, when 

 they again disappeared. 



"In the beginning the natives eat them with great gusto, but soon 

 get tired of them, and they are then used only for food for the sledge 

 dogs. Mr. Volokitin informed me that the same species occurs, but 

 much more scarce, at Atka, on which island he was born.""' — (Stejneger.) 



Dr. Stejneger made a color drawing of this species, one fourth nat- 

 ural size.

EUMICROTREMUS SPINOSUS (Miiller), Gill. 



Xo. 38976, U.S.X.M. Bering Island ; X. Grebnitski. " From stomach 

 of Alepidosaiirus (vsculapius.^^ 



Aleindosaurns cvsculapius is not in the collections forwarded by Messrs. 

 Grebnitski and Stejneger, but, as it is quite well known at Unalaska, 

 there is little doubt that it occurs in the deep waters around the Com- 

 mander Islands. 



LIPARIS CALLIODON (Pallas), Gunther.
