122 NEW FISHES FROM PACIFIC COAST GILBERT. 



Ventrals with narrow bases, the left one slightly in advance of the 

 right; the fin greatly prodnced, reaching far beyond front of anal, a 

 trifle shorter than head. Left pectoral If in head. 



Scales very strongly ctenoid, the edge spinous, the entire exposed 

 portion rough. Width of anterior arch of lateral line 3^ in straight por- 

 tion. Tubes of lateral line borne by a series of smaller concealed cycloid 

 scales, the free edges of which are notched to the opening of the pore. 

 These scales are entirely covered by the integument, and from the pores 

 there proceed backward membranous tubes, ramifying over the bases 

 of contiguous scales. This is true also of lateral line of blind side. 

 Eyed side entirely scaled except snout and mandible. 



Bead3| in length; depth 1|-. D. 8i; A. 63. Lat. 1. 100; 36 scales 

 in a series upward and backward from lat. 1. 



Vertical fins covered with thick sUin, each ray accompanied with one 

 or two series of ctenoid scales. Left ventral also scaled. 



Color, olive brown, with three large black ocellated spots larger than 

 orbit, the posterior one on lateral line in front of caudal peduncle, the 

 two anterior under middle of dorsal, half way between lateral line and 

 dorsal and anal outlines, respectively; each spot with a light center. 

 Distal portion of vertical fins more or less brown on right side. 



A single specimen, 13 inches long, from station 3022, in 11 fathoms. 



88. Hippoglossina bollmani sj). iiov. 



Htppoghsslna macrops Jordan aud Bollnian, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mu8., 1889, 175 (uot of 

 Steiudacbuer*). Statiou 260.5. 



Differing from H. stomata Eigenmann in the gill-rakers, which are 

 shorter and much fewer in number, and in the larger scales on sides. 



Scales in sixteen rows between lateral line aud back, instead of 

 twenty-one or twenty-two as in stomata. 



Gill rakers somewhat shorter, eight or nine on anterior limb, two on 

 upper limb. In H. macrops the gill-rakers are slender, close-set, 

 thirteen or fourteen on anterior limb, four on vertical limb. 



In other respects of color, fin-rays, and squamation agreeing per- 

 fectly with H. stomata. 



Lioglossina gen. no v. {Pleuronectida'). 



This genus diflers Irom Hippoglossina in the cycloid scales only, and 

 from Xijstreurys in the uniform fine teeth. 

 Type, Lioglossina tetrophthalmus sp. nov. 



89. Lioglossina tetrophthalmus sp. nov. 



Body of moderate height, the profile distinctly angulated above up- 

 per pupil, the snout projecting; length of caudal peduncle ope-half 

 its depth, its outlines diverging backwards. Depth of body 2^ in 



'Hippoglossina macrops SieiDclachner is nearer H. stomata tlian H. hollmani, but apparently differs 

 in the deeper body and smaller mouth. Its gillrakors are uot described.
