22. Triglops macellus Htaii. 

 Five specimens of this species were collected from deep water. 

 Three of them have the dorsal XI-29, and the anal 29; the other two 

 ha\c the dorsal XI-2S, and the anal 2^. All of tlu'in ha\e six lower 

 pectoral rays produced {Jive in the type) and nine other pectoral rays, 

 except in one, which has ten as in the type. The lower jaw is included, 

 and the I)on\- interorljital si)ace is a fifth of the diameter of the eye 

 (a third in the type). There is a very conspicuous round black spot 

 on each side of the tip of the snout just above the edge of the maxil- 

 lary. The specimens otherwise agree very well with the original 

 description. 



23. Triglops beani Gilljcrt. 



Rather al)undant in deep water, where several specimens were taken. 

 The largest was 180 mm. in length. The peculiar cross-folds on the 

 breast are usually, but not alwa>-s, present; and all intermediate 

 conditions are represented among the specimens collected, ranging from 

 five or six folds to none whatever. 



24. Chitonotus pugetensis (Stcindachner). 



Apparently rather rare in Puget Sound. A few specimens were taken 

 in the dredge. 



In life the colors are slaty-black on the anterior part of the back 

 and the top of the head, while posteriorly the back is greenish. The 

 upper part of the body is crossed by brown bands. The side below 

 the middle of the body is white with irregular spots of clear coppery 

 red. The pectoral is yellow crossed by reddish-brown bands. The 

 ventrals, anal, and under parts of the body are milk-white. 



25. Stelgidonotus latifrons Gilbert and Thompson. 



A second specimen of this recently described species (U. S. Nat. 

 Mus. Proc, XXX'III, 1905, p. 977, Friday Harbor, Washington) 

 was taken. It is not known whether it was seined, dredged, or taken 

 in a tidal pool; neither does it appear in the original description how 

 the type was taken. 



It is somewhat longer than the type, being 35 mm. in length, the 

 type was 24 mm. long, and is a male with the anterior anal rays pro- 

 duced and a \er\- minute or scarcely developed anal papilla. It has 

 the dorsal rays IX-18, the anal 14, and the pectoral 14, or one less 

 soft ray in the dorsal and anal and one more in the pectoral than in
