'"Reasons for separating this family from the CydupteridcB and placing it farther from the Cotiidoe exist in the 

 continuous dorsal, the connection of dorsal and anal with the caudal, the more complete transfonnation of the ventral 

 rays, the more slender and spine-like suborbital process, the expanded upper limb of the preoperculum, the styli- 

 fonn inter-oporpulum, the shorter olfactory nerves, and the more elongate brain." Jordan and Evermann, after 

 Garman. 



'As the 3'oung of this family with a single genus, which lia ve comparatively short pectoral fins, were once regarded 

 as a species belonging to a distinct genus Cephalacanthus, perhaps the valid genus ought to stand Dactylopterus; 

 and in that case the name of the family would confonn to that of the genus — Dactylopteridte.
