468 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 
43. Sebastodes chlorostictus (Jordan & Gilbert). Pesca vermiglia. 
Station 3129; depth 204 fathoms. The preorbital spines can not be used to dis- 
tinguish this species from S. eos Eigenmann. If the two are distinct, they are 
distinguishable by the scaliness of the maxillary and mandible, the length of the 
second anal spine, and the color of the peritoneum. 
44. Sebastodes rupestris (Gilbert). 
Station 3189; depth 218 fathoms. A single specimen, 5 inches long. The species — 
is evidently allied to the vosaceus group, but is without the pink spots. Below the 
lateral line is a single black streak, which grows more intense opposite the dark 
vertical bars. The interorbital space contains two low inconspicuous ridges; its 
width is contained 24 times in diameter of eye. No spine or a very weak one at 
lower angle of subopercle 
45. Sebastodes elongatus (Ayres). Reina. 
Stations 3106, 3118, 3125, 3129, 3161, 3163, 3203, 3204, and 3207; depths 65 to 204 | 
fathoms. 
Gill-rakers 9 or 10 + 20 to 22, extending full length of arch. In the young the 
lateral stripes are broken up into smaller blotches, the interruptions to the dorsal 
stripe leaving 4 series of saddle-like blotches along the back, which correspond in — 
position with those of S. saxicola. There is one under first dorsal spines, one under 
middle, and one under end of spinous dorsal, one under soft dorsal, and one on back © 
—~ 
of caudal peduncle. This correspondence is interesting in connection with similar — 
color marks discovered in the young of S. diploproa and those known to occur in © 
the young of the rosaceus group. 
46. Sebastodes auriculatus (Girard). 
Stations 3097, 3100, 3132, 3150, 3154, and 3181; depths 16 to 33 fathoms. In one 
specimen the gill-rakers are 7-+15. On the upper limb two only are long and com- — 
pressed; the others are round and thick, but slightly movable. On lower limb all — 
those enumerated are compressed. In front is a mass that might represent rudiments — 
of one or more. 
47. Sebastolobus alascanus Bean. 
Stations 3112, 3126, 3161, 3170, 3186, 3187, 3191, 3195, 3196, 3199, 3204, and 3208; 
depths 191 to 456 fathoms. Dorsal usually with 16 spines, with 17 in two specimens ~ 
noted. In the young the fins are colored as in adults, not black as in S, altivelis. 
Inside of mouth and gill-cayity white. 
48. Sebastolobus altivelis Gilbert. 
Stations 3104, 3112, 3127, 3128, 3188, and 3202. In very young specimens all the fins 
are black, and the intense black lining to gill-cavity is externally visible, making 
sides of head appear dusky. The mouth is posteriorly black. The branchiostegal 
membranes are lined with white on basal part and edged with black. The spinous © 
dorsal is without black blotches, nearly uniformly dark in color. The spines vary | 
much in height, but the third is always the highest. The second anal spine is always 
much longer than the third, reaching if uninjured beyond tips of soft rays. 
Family COTTIDA. The Sculpins. 
49. Icelinus quadriseriatus (Lockington). 
Stations 3115, 3152, 3154, 3155, 3166, 3167, and 3179; depths 20 to 47 fathoms. 
50. Icelinus tenuis Gilbert. 
Stations 3106 and 3129; depth 77 to 204 fathoms. These specimens are slenderer 
than indicated in the original description, the depth being contained 6} times in the 
length. In two specimens the second dorsal spine is filam. ntous as well as the first, 
reaching in one specimen beyond front of second dorsal.
