at opercular angle; a series of pores around under side of jaw and along 

 edge of preopercle, 2 concentric series under eye and across cheek, and 

 others scattered on head behind eyes ; skin smooth, lateral line strongly 

 arched. Dorsal fins connected at base, third spine longest, 2 in head, 

 margin of fin even from third to sixth spines, origin of spinous dorsal 

 over upper edge of gill opening; soft dorsal higher, longest rays 2 in head, 

 base of soft dorsal length ; tips of anal rays all free, longest 2J- in head ; 

 origin of anal under third ray of soft dorsal ; longest pectoral ray a little 

 longer than head ; caudal truncate, \\ in head ; ventral about reaching 

 anal, about same length as anal papilla; tail slender, least depth slightly 

 less than eye, length from anal l.f in head, its length from dorsal about 

 equal to its depth. Color in life, pale pinkish; spinous dorsal dusky, 

 nearly black along margin ; soft dorsal plain or with dusky cross bars ; 

 anal with about 7 dusky cross bars, extending downward and forward 

 almost at right angles to the rays ; 3 or 4 pale blotches surrounded by a 

 black ring along base of dorsal, 1 between dorsals, 1 at end of soft dor- 

 sal, and others at base of soft dorsal (some or all sometimes absent) ; a 

 curved dark line from snout through eye to preopercular spine. Six speci- 

 mens, 1 each 2, 2, and 3 inches long, and 3 1 inches long. From the

 The type is in Leland Stanford Junior University Museum. Cotypes are 

 in the U. S. Fish Commission and U. S. National Museum. (navXoc,, stem, 

 from the many dorsal rays.) 



Page 2015. In third line under Oxycottus acuticeps instead of "region " 

 read "reaching." 



Oxycottus is much nearer Blennicottus than Oligocottus, and perhaps is 

 best placed as a subgenus of Blennlcottm. There is no slit behind the last 

 gill in any of the species. In the subgenus Oxycottus should be placed : 



2383. BLENNICOTTUS ACUTICEPS (Gilbert). 



2384. BLENNICOTTUS EMBRYUM (Jordan <fe Gilbert). 



Page 2042. In line 9 for PJialanyistes substitute Bracliyopsis. 

 Page 2051. In first line of footnote, for "Dr. Gilbert" read "Scofield 

 & Scale." 



Page 2071. In line 14 of the description of Averruncm sterletns read 

 "upward," not "downward." 



Page 2108. The synonymy on this page and the last synonym on page 

 2107 all belong with the footnote. 



Page 2113. The type number of Neoliparis fjreeni is 3019, not 3010. 

 Page 2128. Before Batliypliasma insert the following :

 Crystallichthys, JORDAN & GILBERT, new genua (mirabilu). 



Closely allied to Liparis, but with nostril single. A single dorsal fin ; a 

 well-developed sucking disk ; wide bands of teeth, many of which are 

 trilobate near tip ; an inferior mouth, much overhung by the produced
