FIERASFERID&. 
Pierasfer dubius Putnam. (PI. xvi, Figs. 8-10.) 
E. & E., ’89a. 
Some eggs were collected which probably belong to this species. 
These eggs were incidentally procured with a dip net on Cortes 
Banks while fishing for other things. They are imbedded in a per- 
_ fectly transparent jelly of the consistency of white of egg. The nature 
of the mass of eggs thus dipped up was not understood, as the eggs 
are quite as transparent as their matrix. There were through the 
' whole mass sets of two black dots and a black streak, and on placing a 
portion in Perenyi’s fluid the contour of the eggs was immediately made 
_ evident. The whole mass measured about half a pint. The eggs 
* measured 0.8 millimeters and are arranged in one layer and separated 
’ from each other by a small space. Some of the eggs had hatched, and 
' one of these larve is shownin Fig.1. The pectoralsare well developed. 
' The eyes are black and the intestinal canal as far as developed is cov- 
ered with dendritic pigment cells, a few of which extend on the yolk 
‘sack. Otherwise no pigment is developed. 
OPHIDIUD A. 
Otophidium taylori (Girard). 
E. & E., ’88. 
This species is occasionally takeninthe bay. It was abundant among 
the spewing of the rock-cod taken on Cortes Banks.
