FISHES FROM NORTHEASTERN PACIFIC— CHAPMAN 539 



In the lower jaw there are 11 teeth on the left side, 10 on the right. 

 These teeth are unequal in size and irregularly spaced in a single row. 

 They are long and slender, are depressible, and slant inwardly. There 

 are 12 teeth in each upper jaw, similar to those in the lower jaw but not 

 so long or strong. There is a bare space 8 mm wide at the junction of 

 the premaxillaries. There are 2 teeth on the right side of the vomer 

 and 3 on the left. 



The illicium is 17 mm long, the basal bone 7 mm (3.4 and 8.1, re- 

 spectively, in the length without caudal). The basal bone projects 

 slightly beyond the snout. The bulb of the illicium bears 4 projections

arranged in an anteroposterior line across its top. The first one 

 anteriorly is a short tentacle from whose end branch several bifid or 

 trifid secondary tentacles. The next two are arranged bisymmetrically 

 on either side of the midline behind the one just mentioned. They 

 each branch and rebranch several times to form a large clump of 

 moderately long secondary tentacles. Behind these and past the cen- 

 ter of the midline is a small round projection which bears no tenta- 

 cles. Lastly there arises just above the edge of the pigment line 

 posteriorly a long slender tentacle that bears no secondary tentacles 

 but is curved anteriorly so that its end lies in the above mentioned 

 double clump of tentacles. There is no pigment on the bulb or ten- 

 tacles. Between the posterior two projections on the bulb there is a 

 small pore. 



The isolated dorsal ray is located at a vertical from the base of the 

 pectoral. It is fleshy and lax and is 9 mm long. The soft dorsal con- 

 sists of 5 rays, none of which is bifid. It is inserted far back on the 

 body, at the same vertical as the anal, and its base slopes sharply down 

 to the short caudal peduncle behind. The caudal contains 8 rays.
