station 871, in 115 fathoms of water.

Lycodes Verrillii, GoopDE & Bran, Amer. Journ. Sci. & Arts, xvi, 1877, p. 
474; Cat. Fish. Essex Co. & Mass. Bay, 1879, p. 9. 
Specimens were obtained at the following localities : Stations 870, 155 
fathoms ; 879, 225 fathoms; 880, 25245 fathoms; 881, 325 fathoms; 893,

Two specimens, No. 26181, came from stations 891 and 894, 487 and 
365 fathoms. The unique specimen previously known was obtained 
by Captain Collins in the gully between La Have and Sable Island 
Banks. The enormous development of the buccal muscles appears to be 
a character acquired in old age, as also the special peculiarities of den- 
tition mentioned in the description. 
ANARRHICADID A. 
29. Anarrhichas lupus, Linnieus. 
A single small specimen, about 30"" in length, was obtained at 
station 866, in 65 fathoms. At the time of writing the present notice 
this is not available for examination, but it is believed to be the young 
of Anarrhichas lupus, never before recorded south of Cape Cod. 
LIPARIDID 4. 
30. Liparis sp. 
Specimens of a Liparis closely resembling L. ranula, Goode & Bean, 
were obtained at station 879, and are preserved for future discussion.

31. Amitra liparina, new genus and new species (Coltida). 
Two specimens of the fish here described were obtained, October 2, at 
station 591, in 487 fathoms; one, No. 26184, 164°" long; also a smaller 
one, 55°". “heir structure was so peculiar that I have long hesitated to 
describe them. They are evidently Liparoid fishes, without ventral 
fins or ventral disk. Professor Jordap and Dr. Bean have examined
