  Coryphama 
  equisetis 
  has 
  not. 
  been 
  authentically 
  recorded 
  from 
  our

  It 
  may, 
  

   therefore,

  The

  of 
  our

   The 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  head

  a 
  high 
  sharp 
  crest.

  The 
  position 
  of 
  our 
  family 
  Icosteid^e 
  is 
  near 
  or 
  under 
  the 
  family 
  Bramid^:, 
  as 
  

   has 
  been 
  shown 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Steindachner, 
  Ichth. 
  Beitr. 
  XII, 
  22. 
  The 
  genus 
  Bathymaster 
  

   is 
  apparently 
  not 
  a 
  natural 
  ally 
  of 
  Icosteus.
