REVISION OF THE FISH FAMILY LIPARIDAE 



183 



all absent, probably similar to the teeth in the lower jaw. Snout 

 deep, rising steeply, not projecting. The nostril tube apparently not 

 projecting above the surface of the head. Eye small, black; pupil 

 round. Gill slit above the pectoral. One suprabranchial pore. 

 Pyloric coeca about 5. 



Origin of the dorsal over the middle of the pectoral; the anterior 

 rays buried in tissue beneath the fin membrane. Caudal multilated, 

 apparently connected for one-half its length to the anal. The upper 

 edge of the pectoral on a level with the lower margin of the eye; the 

 two lobes connected by rudimentary rays, a short space of the girdle 

 bare as though one ray had been torn away; the lower lobe of four 

 slender rays, 1.8 in the head. Snout to vent 5.9 in the length of the 

 body.

 peritoneum black ; stomach pale. 



PARAUPARIS GRANDICEPS Garman 



Paraliparis grandiceps Garman, 1899, Mem. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 24, p. 117, 

 pi. 29, figures 4-4c, 



Type.— Female, No. 28701, M. C. Z.; Albatross Station 3434, 

 Gulf of California; depth 1,588 fathoms. Length 10 inches. 



Distribution. — Known only from the type locally. Type examined. 



RelationsMps . — P. grandiceps is closely related to P. attenuatus. 

 See description of the latter species. 



Description. — Note on the type which is in a mutilated condition. 

 Teeth resembling those in P. copei and P. rosaceus, on the lower jaw 

 in a single series, crowded together at the symphysis into two or 

 more rows, progressively larger at the sides ; the teeth in the upper 

 jaw not seen. 



Pectoral divided nearly to the base; the space between the two 

 lobes bridged by four widely spaced rudimentary rays; outline of fin 

 as figured for P. bathybius in Plate 12 of the Challenger Report.
