Corijphaenoidcs misakius Jordan and Gilbert, Bull. U. S. Fish Comm., 1902 

 (1904), p. 611, text fig. — Jordan and Thompson, Mem. Carnegie Mus., 

 vol. 6, pt. 4, 1914, p. 306. 



Macrourus asper Jordan and Thompson, Mem. Carnegie Mus., vol. 6, pt. 4, 

 1914, p. 306, pi. 38, fig. 2 (not Coryphaenoides asper Giinther). 



A single small specimen of this well-marked species is included in 

 the present collection. The data for this specimen have been unfor- 

 tunately lost. It is smaller than the type-specimens and differs from 

 the type in several proportions, as shown in the table. These differ- 

 ences are doubtless due to the difference in size.
