388 FISHES OF KAMCHATKA AND JAPAX—BEAN cS- BEAK. vol. xix 



contained 5h times iu the total length to caudal base; the greatest 

 depth of the body is nearly one-ninth of the same length, in this respect 

 differing greatly from L. aiKjuiHaris. 



In spirits the body is uniformly pale olivaceous. There are no traces 

 of niottlings anywhere. The fins are all pale. 



About 2<) rows of scales can be counted obliquely upward and for- 

 ward from the origin of the anal to the base of the dorsal, and about 

 50 rows between the upper angle of the gill opening and the vertical 

 from the vent. In the snuiller specimen there are about 47 rows. 



ANOPLARCHUS ALECTROLOPHUS (Pallas). 



No. 389G0, U.S.N.M. Petropaulski, September, 1883; ^^ Grebnitski. 



This lot contains ^even specimens, varying in length from 88 to 105 

 mm. The crest on the head of most of the individuals is remarkably 

 well developed, while in one or two it is very much smaller. In two of 

 the examples the caudal is w^ell united with the dorsal and anal. 

 D. LXIY; A. 44. 



In the example measuring 105 nmi. the crest on the head is very low. 

 D. LXIII : A. 45. This appears to be a female. One of the large 

 specimens with a high crest is a male with the spermaries moderately 

 developed.

A specimen, ISTo. 38966, U.S.N.M., Mas collected at Petropaulski in 

 August, 1883, by N. Grebnitski. It is 165 mm. long. 1). LXXXIX; 

 A. II, 44. 



The height of the body is contained eight times in the total without 

 caudal, the length of the head nine times. The eye is one-lifth as 

 long as the head. The maxilla is one-fourth as long as the head and 

 extends to below the front of the pupil. The mouth is very oblique. 

 The maiulible is two-fifths as long as the head. Pectoral nearly one- 

 half length of head. Ventral small, two-thirds length of eye. 



The di.stance of the dorsal origin from tip of snout equals length of
