8. Lumpenus anguillaris (Pallas) Girard. 



29801 (112). Wrangel, Alaska. Aug. — , 1881. 

 29801 (122). Sitka, Alaska. Sept. 13, 1881. 

 Length of first, 11 inches ; of second exactly the same. Vomer with- 

 out trace of teeth. 



9. Xiphister mucosus (Girard) Jordan. 



29815 (113). Wrangel, Alaska. Aug. — , 1881. 

 Two examples 7J to 8 inches long. D. LXXVI ; A. 49-50. In these 

 specimens, which I have provisionally referred to mucosus, the occiput 

 is equidistant from snout and dorsal; the anal origin is a little nearer 

 the snout than the tip of caudal ; the dorsal spines and anal rays are as 

 in X. rupestris ; the pectoral is as long as the eye. There is, conse- 

 quently, a little difficulty in deciding what are the closest affinities of 

 the examples here considered. A re-examination of all the Alaskan 

 specimens of X. rupestris (so called in my preliminary catalogue, inib- 

 lished Dec. 24, 1881) reveals a similar intermingling of the characters 

 of rupestris and mucosus to some extent. 



10. Anoplarchus atropurpureus (Kittlitz) Gill. 



30221 (90). Port McLaughlin, Brit. Col. Aug. 6, 1881. 



29814 (113). Wrangel, Alaska. Aug. — , 1881. 

 No. 30221, two specimens, found on the beach at low water. No. 29814 

 includes six individuals, of which the largest two were 4J and 5f inches 

 long, respectively, with the following fin rays : smaller, D. 57, A. 40 ; 

 larger, D. 55, A. 40.
