BI'iSitKIPTIOIV OF A IVKW SPECIES OF 1-IPABI8 (li. RANUCA) OB- 

 TAIIVED BY TIBE UIVITED STATES FISH COMiTIISSIOlV OFF HAIil- 

 FAX, IVOVA St OTIA. 



By G. BROW]\ GOODE and TARL.ET01V H. B£A1¥. 



An apparently undescrilbed species of Liparis was taken in the large 

 tiawl-uet by the collecting party on the United States steamer Speed- 

 well, September 24, 1877, off the month of Halifax Harbor (Station 117, 

 8i miles sontheast from Chebncto Head). The depth at which it was 

 found was 52 fathoms, the temperature at the bottom 35° F. The bot- 

 tom was of fine sand and mud, and in the same haul of the net were 

 taken the following species: Ghjptoceplialus cynoglossus^ Rijjpoalossoide^ 

 plafessoides, Sehastes marinus (young), Phycis chuss, Aspidophoroides 

 ni())wptcri/glu!i, TrUjlops Pingelii, Centridermichthys uncinatus, and Baia 

 radiata.

 of Kroyer, but is easily distinguished by its less elongate body and the 

 greater number of rays in the dorsal and anal tins. When lirst taken
