450 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 
fins yellow, unmarked. A brown blotch across snout and tip of mandible followed 
by a narrow yellowish bar descending to front of eye. Interorbital space crossed by 
a broad brown bar with blackish margins, which becomes much narrower below 
and traverses the eye and the cheeks. Behind this is a broader yellow bar margined 
behind with a narrow brown line. 
Specimens were dredged at stations 3230, 3232, 3233, and 3234, in Bristol Bay; 
depths 3} to 103 fathoms. 
114. Pholis ornatus (Girard). 
Taken in the seine at Unalaska and Herendeen Bay, entering fresh water. 
115. Anoplarchus atropurpureus (Kittlitz). 
Found upon the rocks between tide marks at Unalaska. 
116. Stichzus punctatus (Fabricius). 
Notogrammus rothrocki Beau. 
A single specimen, 86 mm. long, was dredged in Bristol Bay, Alaska, station 3239, 
depth 114 fathoms. Several larger individuals were seined in Karta Bay, Prince of 
Wales Island, Alaska, July 12, 1889. 
The position of the lateral line in this species is incorrectly given as ‘‘median” by 
Jordan & Gilbert in the Synopsis, pp. 755 and 775. Cuvier and Valenciennes, in 
their description drawn from the writings of Fabricius, state that the lateral line 
runs along the upper fifth of the height of the body and terminates at about the 
middle of the length. This correctly describes its position in all our specimens, 
where it originates immediately above the opercle, exhibits at first a rather strong 
upwardly convex curve, then runs nearly parallel to the back, separated from the 
base of the dorsal fin by one-fifth the height of the body. It is very distinct 
throughout its course, and terminates at about the middle of the length. The 
narrow brown streak described as bounding the lateral line above, in Notogrammus 
rothrocki, is conspicuous in our smallest specimen (86 mm.). The branchiostegal 
membranes are very narrowly joined anteriorly, forming a narrow free fold across 
the isthmus, from which they are entirely distinct. Narrow bands of teeth in the 
jaws, and on vomer and palatines. The outer series in upper jaw and the inner series 
in the lower jaw enlarged. 
Dorsal XLVII or XLVIII; anal 1, 32 to 35. The membrane from last dorsal spine 
joins extreme base of upper caudal ray; anal wholly distinct. 
We have not the material for a comparison of Pacific with Atlantic representa- 
tives of this species, and the published descriptions of the latter lack detail. 
117. Leptoclinus maculatus (Fries). 
A few young specimens of this species, hitherto known only from the North 
Atlantic, were taken at stations 3223, 3252, 3253, 3257, 3258, 3259, 3279, and 3309, the 
first one in Unimak Pass, the others in Bristol Bay, depths 293 tc $1 fathoms. Having 
no Atlantic specimens of this species, we are unable to satisfy ourselves of the 
identity of the two. 
118. Lumpenus anguillaris (Pallas). Seined at Unalaska. 
119. Lumpenus mackayi sp. nov. (Plate 32.) 
Very elongate, the depth +; or ;; the length. Head compressed and high, especially 
anteriorly, the upper profile of snout very convex, the upper jaw decidedly longer 
than the lower. Mouth nearly horizontal. Maxillary reaching vertical from frout 
or middle of pupil, its length 3? to3}in head. Teeth small, in a narrow band in 
jaws. A single series of weak teeth on palatines. Vomer toothless. Gill-openings 
continued forward to below middle of cheeks, the membranes then narrowly joined 
to isthmus. Gill-rakers short and weak, about 10 on horizontal limb of arch. Eye 
small, its horizontal diameter one-half longer than its vertical, slightly longer than 
interorbital width, 2in snout, 8 in head. Distance from snout to nape equals length 
of postorbital part of head. Opercles large, continued to beyond base of pectorals.
