Paraliparis albescens Gilbert, 1915, p. 355. 



Type. — Cat. No. 75816, U.S.N.M.; a female with well-developed 

 ova, 63 mm. long, from Station 4515, Monterey Bay. Only the type 

 known. 



PARALIPARIS CAUDATUS Gilbert 



Paraliparis caudatus Gilbert, 1915, p. 355. 



Tyjpe.—Csit. No. 75815, U.S.N.M.; 86 mm. in total length, (77 mm. 

 to base of caudal), from Station 4527, Monterey Bay. Only the type 

 known. 



Figure 109.— Paeauparis caudatus. Type. One of the shorter, deeper bodied species 



RESEMBLING SPECIES OF CaREPROCTUS 



Resembling P. ulochir in the restricted gill slit and the wide pec- 

 toral, but differing among other characters in the shorter, deeper 

 body, and the wider, many-rayed caudal fin. In P. ulochir, the trunk 

 tapers to an extremely slender tail, the fin composed of but four rays. 

 In P. caudatus, the base of the caudal has an easily appreciable width 

 and the fin contains 10 or 11 rays. 



PARAUPARIS ANTARCTICUS Regan 



Paraliparia antarciicus Regan, 1914, p. 11. 



PARAUPARIS TERRAE-NGVAE Regan 

 Paraliparis terrae-novae Regan, 1916, p. 129, pi. 1, fig. 6. 

 The original description is as follows: 



A young fish, 35 mm. long, was taken in McMurdo Sound on January 16, 1912, 

 at Station 332, 77° 15' S., 166° 0' E., 0-550 meters. It is very similar in most 

 respects to Paraliparis antaclicus Regan, but differs notably in the fewer fin rays, 

 (dorsal 55; anal 43) and in the form of the pectoral fin, which has no elongate 

 lower rays. This is the second Antarctic species of the genus. 



PARALIPARIS WILDI Waite 



Paraliparis mldi Waite, 1916, pi. 4, fig. 1. 



The following is from the original description : 



Locality — The only specimen was taken at Station X., lat. 65° 6' S., long. 96° 

 13' E.; off Shackleton Iceshelf, in 325 fathoms, the temperature being 1.65 C, 

 and the bottom ooze.
