raii<ie sonthwards to the coast of Sew Eiiglaod. The Norwcj;iaii 2soith Athintic expedition 

 has obtained specimens down to 223 fathoms (oif Bear Island), and therefore the species 

 is included in this report. As bathybial characters, the width of the pores of the mucifer- 

 ous system and the relatively large eye may be mentioned."

ICELINUS, Jordan. 



Icelimis, Jordan, Cat. Pish. N. Auier., 1887, 111, note.— Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat Mus., xiii, 1890, 84 (with 

 ke.y to species of Icdiniis). 



Gottids, with body .slender, fusiform, having lateral line with a series of spinous plates, 

 above which along the back is a double series of spinous plates placed at au angle; the 

 upper plates witii free edge downward and backward, the lower plates with free edge up- 

 ward and backward, the skin otherwise perfectly smooth. Top of head uneven; interorbital 

 area concave. Head without developed scales. Upiier preopercular spine long, with 5 

 hooked processes. 



The type of the genus is Artedins quorlriserkitus, Lockiugton. The type species is 

 not found in very deep water, but four other s^jecies have recently been described by Gilbert 

 from the coast of California, taken by the Albatross between 100 aud 150 fathoms.
