which is about the same heighth as the spinous; pectoral 

 rather large, reaching to the base of fourth or fifth dorsal 

 ray; ventrals scarcely reaching vent; insertion of anal 

 midway between middle of eye and base of caudal, its 

 longest ray about equal to those of dorsal. 



Ground color olive, with about five dark cross-bars on 

 back; the first bar under middle of spinuous dorsal, the 

 second under front of soft dorsal, the third under its 

 middle, and the fourth under its end, and the fifth is 

 represented by a blotch on top of caudal peduncle; a 

 dark streak at base of caudal fin; sides with many clear- 

 cut, round, white spots, growing larger downwards; the 

 lower row are only half spots where the white of the 

 spot runs into the white on lower part of body; belly 

 white ; lips and under parts of head with dark olive-brown 

 wavy bars of about the same width as the interspaces; 

 fins with wavy dark streaks, except anal and ventrals 

 which are white. Coloration very similar to Artedius 

 lateralis. 



The single type specimen was taken with the dredge 

 in the vicinity of Port Ludlow. It is about two and a 

 half inches in length. Numbered 5047 on the register 

 of the museum in Leland Stanford Jr. University. I 

 take pleasure in naming this species for President Mark 

 Walrod Harrington of the University of Washington.

19. Acanthocottus polyacanthocottus (Pallas). 



Abundant; specimens were taken with the seine and 

 set line. These specimens have a smaller eye and shorter 

 preopercular spine than specimens from Alaska; but both 

 of these characters are so variable that it does not seem 

 possible to separate them.
