GLYPTOCEPHALUS OSTROUMOWI Pavlenko. 



Glyptocephalus ostroumowi Pavlenko, Kazani, Trd. Obsc. jest., vol. 42, 1910, 

 pi. 2, pp. 59-61, fig. 13 a, b. 



Numerous specimens of this species were obtained at the following 

 Albatross stations: 



4807, Tsugaru Strait, between Hondo and Hokkaido (Yezo). 



4812, near Sado Island, Sea of Japan. 



4826 and 4828, near C. Rokko, west coast of Hondo, Sea of Japan. 



4834 and 4839, near Tsuruga, west coast of Hondo, Sea of Japan. 



4843 and 4844, near Dogo Island, Sea of Japan. 



4855, 4856, 4858, 4859, and 4868, off east coast of Korea. 



4984, 4985, 4986, 4988, and 4989, off coast of Hokkaido. 



4992, 4993, and 4994, off northwest coast of Hokkaido. 



4999, 5000, Gulf of Tartary. 



5010, Aniwa Bay, Sakhalin Island. 



5042, off south coast of Hokkaido. 



Professor Snyder has examined the description of G. ostroumowi, 

 and finds it identical with his G. sasae. 1 



Color uniform deep brown, darker toward tips of vertical fins and 

 ventral of eyed side; tip of pectoral of eyed side dark; pectoral and 

 ventral of blind side usually colorless; the body, the vertical fins, 

 and sometimes the paired fins of the eyed side thickly punctulate. 

 The adult does not retain the markings of the very young, which 

 consist first of about 6 dark bars extended vertically across the 

 body and fins, these later becoming separated into a row on dorsal 

 and anal, a row at the base of each fin, and a row along the late- 

 ral line, finally entirely disappearing.
