ing to Goode & Bean it breeds abundantly off the south coast of New 

 England in late summer between 100-180 fathoms and there is no reason 

 to believe that the young rise to the surface; the fry were caught by 

 the bushel at these depths, (marimis; marine.) An important food-fish 

 beautifully colored. (Eu.)

Pectorals with a wide base, produced backward near the upper margin 

 and not medially, lower rays thickened, extending much beyond rays next 

 above in a linguiform lobe ; ventrals directly under axils of pectorals, 

 with the outer rays produced, thick, branched; anal III, 5; vertebra 

 11 -f- 18 = 29 ; otherwise as in Sebastes. Pacific Ocean in deep water.

Head slightly more than 2f ; depth 4. D. XVI or XVII, 9 ; A. Ill, 5 ; pec- 

 toral 22. Lateral line 31 (pores). Body compressed, head large, about as 

 wide as high. Eye large, 3 in head, a little longer than snout. Interor- 

 bital space narrow, concave, nearly 3 in orbit, with a pair of obscure lon- 



* Body elongated, not convex in front of dorsal fin ; 4 distinct dark-brown transverse 

 bands on the sides, the broadest at the posterior portion of the body. Dorsal XIII, 14; 

 anal III, 7. (Storer.) This is doubtless a young example of Sebastes marinus, and not a 

 Sebastodes. 



t Sebastes viviparus is thought to be a shore form or variety of Sebastes marinus. We 

 have not been able to distinguish it. The characters alleged are the following: 



General color brownish red, somewhat mottled, with a blackish blotch 011 the opercle, 

 and some other brownish spots on the body. Pectoral fins a little longer than in Sebastes 

 tnarinus; interocular space rather narrower. Head 3J ; depth 3. D. XV, 14 ; A. Ill, 8. 

 Northern seas of Europe; smaller than the preceding, and living near shore; thought to 

 be a shallow water variety; perhaps confined to the fjords and deep bays or the Nortn.
