Pout (Gadus luseus or G. minutus) are the only other marketable 

 fish which appear in our records. Their numbers are quite unimportant. 

 Of unmarketable species, solenettes, scald-fish, topknots {Rh. unimacu- 

 latus), dragonets, angels or buffoons, and various dog-fish appear in 

 hauls subsequent to x. In Haul x. Mr. Scott has noted that dog-fish 

 were abundant, but in subsequent hauls both dog-fish and angels, which 

 may be regarded as deleterious forms, were not taken in any consider- 

 able number.
