teeth of the lower jaw are of enormous length (nearly twice as long as 
those of the upper), but the scales exhibit the most remarkable pecu- 
liarity.

BROTULID. 
BASSOZETUS.* 
Dinematichthyine brotulids with a slender body, a narrow differen- 
tiated caudal fin, anus about a third of the total length from the snout, 
small eyes, and unarmed head and shoulders. 
Bassozetus normalis Giil. 
The greatest height little exceeds an eighth of the total length, and 
the head enters nearly five and a half (18.5 100) times in the latter; the 
caudal has 9 rays, and its length equals the width of the head.

GADID. 
Onos rufus. 
There are three barbels (and no accessory ones); the enlarged dorsal 
ray is as long as, or longer than, the head; some enlarged brown-colored 
teeth are developed in the exterior row, and the color in life is an almost 
uniform salmon or brick-red hue. It is closely related to the Onos ensis 
of Greenland and may possibly prove to be identical with it, but nothing 
has been stated with regard to the color of that species, a feature too 
striking to be overlooked.

MACRURIDE. 
Macrurus Bairdii Goode § Bean. 
The tail is very long and slender, the height diminishing to an equal- 
ity with the diameter of the orbit considerably within the anterior half 
of the total length, and thence regularly attenuated to the end; the 
head forms little more than a sixth of the length; the eye is very large,
