FISHES OF PUGET SOUND. 833 
Pectoral broadly rounded when spread, its notch com- 
paratively very shallow, its tip reaches past vent but not 
to notch in dorsal; ventral disk large, slightly longer than 
broad, its posterior margin almost midway between its 
anterior and front of anal, its anterior margin half its 
length from chin; dorsal with a shallow notch; origin of 
fin over posterior margin of ventral disk, its longest rays 
in its posterior half; origin of anal a little nearer snout 
than base of caudal, the last four or five rays rapidly 
shortened, making the fin truncate behind; dorsal and 
anal scarcely joined to caudal; caudal long and slender, 
rounded behind. 
Color olive brown, light below; indistinctly mottled; 
dorsal and anal darker at their margins; pectorals uniform 
dark brown; caudal light, with indistinct cross-lines; lips 
dark. 
Here described from the only specimen known to us, 
five inches in length; from near San Francisco. It ‘is 
now in the collection of the California Academy of Sci- 
eacesy (No. 360). ‘Collected’ by H. D. Dunn; off San 
Francisco. 
g6. Neoliparis callyodon (Pallas). 
Obtained by the Albatross at Port Angeles. 
This is the species figured by Mr. Garman (monograph 
of the Drscoboli) as Liparts mucosus. His description 
seems, in part at least, to have been drawn from /Veolzpa- 
ris fore. 'The latter has larger gill-openings than either 
Neoliparts mucosus or LV. callyodon. 
Neoliparis callyodon is extremely abundant about the 
Aleutian Islands. The coloration, form of mouth, small 
gill-opening and the number of fin-rays all point out this 
as the original ca//yodon of Pallas. 
The following is an analysis of the species of Veoliparis, 
as far as known: ;
