8. Lumpenus anguillaris (Pallas) Girard. 



29S01 (112). Wrungel, Alaska. Aug. — , 1881. 

 29801 (122). Sitka, Alaska. Sept. 13, 1881. 

 Length of first, 11 inches ; of second exactly the same. Vomer with 

 out trace of teeth. 



9. Xiphister mucosus (Girard) Jordan. 



29815 (113). Wrangel, Alaska. Aug. — , 1881. 

 Two examples Ih to 8 inches long. D. LXXYI ; A. 49-50. In these 

 specimens, which I have provisionally referred to ^nucosiis, the occiput 

 is equidistant from snout and dorsal; the anal origin is a little nearer 

 the snout than the tip of caudal ; the dorsal spines and anal rays are as 

 in X rupestris ; the i)ectoral is as long as the eye. There is, conse- 

 quently, a little difficulty in deciding what are the closest aftinities of 

 the examples here considered. A re-examination of all the Alaskan 

 specimens of X. i-upestris (so called in my preliminary catalogue, pub- 

 lished Dec. 24, 1881) reveals a similar intermingling of the characters 

 of rupestris and mucosus to some extent. 



10. Anoplarchus atropurpureus (Kittlilz) Gill. 



30221 (96). Port McLaughlin, Brit. Col. Aug. G, 1881. 



29814(113). Wrangel, Alaska. Aug/— ,1881. 

 No. 30221, two specimens, found on the beach at low water. No. 29814 

 includes six individuals, of which the largest two were 4^ and 5f inches 

 long, respectively, with the following fin rays: smaller, D. 57, A. 40; 

 larger, D. 55, A. 40.
