rays of dorsal and anal. Unlike all other Liparids, the caudal is forked 

 at tip, the terminal notch involving about \ of fin. Translucent dusky, 

 darker around snout, gill openings, and on the fins, the vertical tins 

 largely jet-black; month and gill cavity dusky, not black. This species 

 is most nearly related to Careprocius melanuriis, from which it differs in 

 darker coloration and shorter gill slit. From all known species of 

 Carvproctus it differs in the very elongate caudal fin which is forked at 

 the tip. Bering Sea and North Pacific. The type, a single specimen, 

 21 cm. long, dredged at Albatross Station 3644, off Bogoslof Island, at a 

 depth of 664 fathoms. A second specimen was obtained by the Albatross 

 in 1889, at Station 3074, oft' the coast of Washington, in 877 fathoms, but 

 it was too seriously mutilated to admit of descrijition. {hvtPeAoi;, a 

 swift; ovpd, tail.) 



Page 2175. The genus Chelidonichthys should be compared with Trit/la 

 rather than with rrionotiis. 



CJielidonichihj/8 pictipivnis is probably not American, and should be 

 omitted or, at most, admitted only in a footnote. 



The genus Chelidonichthys difters from Trigla in the absence of lateral 

 plates.

2.5:jl(a). SICYDIUM PUNCTATUM, Perugia. 



D. VI-1, 11; A. 1, 10; scales 56. Head 5^ in total length without caudal, 

 its width equaling its height or f that of body under first dorsal. Scales of 

 body larger than those of head or na^ie; maxillary reaching posterior bor- 

 der of eye. Eye 4 in head, or 1^ in interorbital space. Snout 4 ; pectoral 

 equaling head in length ; spines of first dorsal somewhat elongated, the 

 longest (third) twice height of body; second dorsal as high as body and 

 like the anal. Teeth of upper jaw fine, very slender, and ending behind 

 in an obtuse angle; lower jaw with conic robust teeth and minutie hori- 

 zontal ones. Color grayish, the ventral gall color (giallnguolo) ; under 

 part of head with numerous small black spots; scales strongly ciliated 

 and each with a brown spot in the center; dorsals brown ; anal transi)areHt, 

 with a narrow black line; ventral disk yellowish. Length 8 cm. This 

 species is not S. plumieri of Cuvier & Valenciennes, nor is it iS. antillarum, 

 Ogilvie-Grant, because of the difference in the number of scales, the dif- 

 ferent proportions and a different coloration. The type was collected by 

 Captain Guisei)pe Capurro at St. Pierre, Martinique. (Perugia.)

 species, 3 to 4 inches long, from Clarion Island, are in the museum of 

 Stanford University.
