426 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 
specimens of G. pistilliger and G. tricuspis. These marks were apparently absent 
also in the type, as no mention is made of them. The spinous dorsal is not greatly 
elevated, its longest spine being contained 24 times in the head. It is without dis- 
tinctive markings, being colored like the soft dorsal, light yellowish, cross-banded 
with darker. Anal papilla short, 5 mm. in length. 
Plates on head as in description, covering the interorbital region, crown, occiput, 
and nape as far back as front of dorsal; present also on upper part of opercle and 
in a vertical streak immediately behind eye. A very prominent tubercle over hinder 
margin of eye, a constriction behind it. Occipital region broadly rounded, without 
tubereles or conspicuous prominences of any kind, but with three smooth areas 
corresponding in position with the tubercles of G. pistilliger, and perhaps present as 
such in the young. Theanterior one is slightly elevated. Nosuperciliary filaments. 
Preopercular spines massive, short, with a single fork at tip, no accessory spines 
developed. Axil with prickly scales but without filaments. 
Dorsal x1-16; anal 19; lateral line 43; head 52 mm. long; depth 32 mm. The 
depth is 64 in the total length, not 7} as described for the type. 
This species is much more nearly related to G. tricuspis than to G. pistilliger. We 
have had no opportunity to compare it with the former, and follow Dr. Bean in 
considering it distinct. 
68. Enophrys diceraus (Cuvier & Valenciennes). 
Several adults taken with seine at Herendeen Bay, Alaska Peninsula. There are 
6 or 7 strong barbs inclined forward on the upper surface of the preopercular spine, 
which is very long, slender, and straight, reaching to below middle of spinous dorsal. 
Filaments arranged as in L. claviger, but those on posterior part of body much more 
numerous. Anal papilla very large, 27 mm. in aspecimen 195mm. iong. Thereseem 
to beno prickles on region above lateral line or on abdomen. 
Fin rays in 7 specimens are as follows:

69. Enophrys claviger (Cuvier & Valenciennes). 
A single specimen, 25 mm. long, from station 3233, Bristol Bay, Alaska; depth, 74 
fathoms. 
The upper preopercular spine is long and very slender, extending to below middle 
of spinous dorsal, bearing small serrations on anterior and posterior edges of basal 
half, but without larger teeth or accessory spinules. Area above lateral plates 
thickly beset with minute prickles; posterior part of abdominal region and the 
area above anal fin similarly beset with prickles which scarcely project beyond the 
small tubercles in which they occur. A few larger postaxial prickles and a small 
number of white filaments scattered along middle of sides. Filaments also at base 
of preopercular spines and 2 or 3 at tip of maxillary. 
Dorsal vi1I-14; anal 11; lateral line 35. It does not seem to us probable that this 
is the young of ZH. diceraus, as Dr. Bean would have it.

Triglops pingeli Bean, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 1883, p. 355, not of Reinhardt. 
Diagnosis: This is the Pacific representative of the Atlantic T. pingeli, from which 
it differs in the greater slenderness of the body, particularly of the caudal peduncle, 
in the somewhat smaller eye, the more pointed snout, the less fine subdivision of the
