eighth soft ray of dorsal. In T. ontariensis, which has a much deeper 

 and thicker body, the second dorsal is twice as high as the first, which 

 is also unusually high. The lateral line is distinct to the base of 

 caudal, and the mouth is much smaller than in T. ihompsoni or 

 T. stimpsoni, the snout being also shorter. 



We present a figure of the specimen from Lake Michigan, typical 

 of the nominal species, Triglopsis stimpsoni. We are unable, without 

 more material, to determine whether Triglopsis stimpsoni is a valid 

 species or not. The lower dorsals and the smaller number of fin 

 rays constitute the chief apparent differences. This figure, as also 

 the figure of Triglopsis ontariensis, is drawn by Mr. W. S. Atkinson.

Among the remains of Triglopsis thompsoni from stomachs of the 

 predatory ling {Lota maculosa), off Oswego, examined by Doctor Girard, 

 are also fragments of another little-known deep-water sculpin, Cottus 

 ricei (Nelson). Of this species, which has never been figured, we 

 present an outline made from Nelson's original type many years ago.
