ZANIOLEPIS FRENATUS Eigenmann. 



In a specimen, 151 mm. to base of caudal, the length of head is 

 25 hundredths of this length; length of snout, 7; diameter of eye, 

 6.5; length of maxillary, 8; interorbital width, 2.8; depth of body, 

 18. Fin rays are as follows: Dorsal, XX-I, 13; anal, III, 17; 

 pectoral, 15; ventral, I, 5. 



A young specimen, 82 mm. long, has the interorbital space wider 

 and less furrowed, the entire lower side of head, including gular 

 membranes and branchiostegal rays, closely and completely scaled, 

 and the dorsals with black blotches and bars, but without the small 

 round black spots characteristic of adults.

ANOPLOPOMA FIMBRIA (Pallas). 



A single immature specimen, 75 mm. long, was taken at the sur- 

 face at station 4518, Monterey Bay. 



The 3 anterior anal rays are evidently non-articulated and spinous 

 in the young; in adults they are imbedded and concealed and their 

 character is difficult to determine. 



Coloration of the young is peculiar. The distal half of upper 

 pectoral rays is jet black, contrasting sharply with the white basal 

 portion. The anterior dorsal rays and the caudal are largely black.
