NO. 2149. JAPANESE MACROVROID FISHES— GILBERT AND HUBB8. 153 



The firmer texture and lighter color of this species is correlated 

 with the fact that it occurs in warmer, shallower water than B. 

 antrodes. 



One paratype from the type station. Only the two specimens 

 known; they agree in all essential respects, but differ in a few pro- 

 portions, as indicated in the following table :

' A small pseudocaudal developed. 



This species is named for the late Lieut. Commander L. M. Garrett, 

 U. S. N., who was in command of the Albatross during the expedition 

 in the Northwest Pacific and contributed largely to the success of that 

 expedition. He was lost overboard during a storm on the return 

 voyage from Japan. 



3. GADOMUS. species. 



One specimen, 106 mm. long (tip of tail broken), from Albatross 

 station 4973, in 600 fathoms, off the east coast of Hondo. 



This species is readily separable from G. colletti. The head is 

 wider, and the sensory canals larger, the structure of the head ap- 

 proaching the type found in Bathygadus cottoides, B. antrodes^ B. 

 bowersi^ and related species; interorbital wider, as wide as the eye 

 (about two-thirds the eye in G. colletti) ; color darker, the branchial 

 cavity without the diagnostic light margin on the branchiostegal
