ENTOMACRODUS CRUENTATUS. nS 
the second dorsal, hindmost rays forming an acute angle which reaches the 
caudal fin. Pectorals broad, appearing as if obliquely truncate in the upper 
half of the fin, longest rays below the median, reaching the anal. Ventrals 
large, broad, reaching the anal, fringed, pointed, fourth ray longest. 
Caudal nearly as long as the head, of ten long rays and two short ones, 
longest in the middle. 
Above the middle of the flanks brownish with numerous closely placed 
transverse streaks of brown, which anteriorly and on the head are broken 
into small spots, or which in places become vermiculations; dorsals, pec- 
torals and caudal with small spots of brown and whitish, forming series on 
the rays; first dorsal with a larger spot, which may have been bluish 
surrounded with light color, in the outer half of the fin between the third 
and the fourth rays. In some cases the fins appear to be thickly freckled 
with brown and with white. Anal white, with a long band of black near 
the lower edge ; fringes white. There are indications that the light colors 
were red to yellowish in life. Lower surfaces white below body and head, 
yellowish backward. Upper lips deep black; sometimes the black of the 
sides unites in front, in other cases it is confined to the sides of the mouth. 
Orbits black in the upper and white in the lower and greater portion.

BLENNIOIDS. 
The Blennioids represented in the collection are very young ones, taken 
by the townet, of which the adults probably do not belong with the deep 
sea fishes. The group enters the bathybial lists through the works of 
Strém, Collett, Giinther and others, who assign depths of a hundred and 
fifty fathoms or more to species of Anarrhichas and Chirolophis.
