434 THE FUR SEALS OF THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS. 



Paul. Otber specimens were obtained from tide pools and by hook and line fishing^ 

 After the Albatross left St. Paul, Cai)tain Moser and Dr. Stejneger, with the assistance 

 of Mr. N. B. Miller, photographer and preparator, made collections by dredge and 

 seine about Petropaulski, otf Robben Keef, and among the Kurile Islands and Yeso. 

 The collection thus obtained was especially valuable, as it includes numerous species 

 not seen since the time of Krascheniuuikof and Pallas. A small collection of fishes, 

 mostly from Tareinsky Bay, Kamchatka, was received from Mr. Gerald E. H. Barrett- 

 Hamilton, of the British commission. A small collection was also made by the 

 Albatross under Dr. Jordan's direction in the Shelikof Straits, off Karluk, in 1897. 



On these various collections the present paper is based. For completeness sake 

 reference is made to all species of fishes thus far authentically recorded from Bering 

 Sea. As the synonymy of each of these species is given in Jordan and Bvermann's 

 Fishes of Northern and Middle America, it is not repeated here. The new species 

 here described are also included in the latter Avork, the second part of which was 

 published October 3, 1898, the third, Nov. 26, 1898, both dates being prior to the 

 appearance of the present paper, which was, however, written first. 



Family PETROM YZONID^E. 



1. Lanipetra aurea (Bean). 



Recorded only from the Yukon River ; not seen by us. 



2. Entosphenus tridentatus (Gardiuei). 



Taken by Dr. (iilbert at llnalaska; (common southward along the coast. Five 

 specimens were found by Mr. Lucas in the stomach of a fur seal from Bering Sea. 



3. Eutospheuus camtscbaticus (Tilesiutjj. 



Tilesius and Pallas briefiy describe a lamprey from Kamchatka. It has not been 

 recorded by later writers. It probably belongs to Entosphenus, but this is not certain. 

 A larval lami)rey obtained by Stejneger in the Paratuuka River, neai* Petropaulski, 

 Kamchatka, is apparently of some species of Entosphenus. It can not be distinguished 

 from the larva of E. tridentatus, though the adult nuiy show i)eculiar characters. 



Family SQUALID^^. 



4. Squalus sucklii ((Jlrard). Dogfish. 



A single si)ecimen of the dogfish was brought by Stejneger from Bering Island. 

 It is otherwise unknown from Bering Sea. The dried specimen referred to this species 

 by Mr. 11. W. Elliott, found by Mr. William Palmer on Zoltoi Sands, St. Paul Island, 

 is a shriveled ray, Raja parmifera. The dogfish is said to occur about Kadiak, but 

 we did not find it there. The salmon shark, which is destructive to the salmon at 

 Karluk, is not the dogfish, but Lamna cornubica. 



Family SOMN IOSID.«. 



5. Somniosus microcephalus (Bloch). Sleeper .shark. 



Not uncommon in Bering Sea; not seen by us. 



Family RAJID^E. 



6. Raja parmifera (Hean). 



Common in Bering Sea; found by us on the beaches of St. Paul; recorded by 

 Bean from St. Michael and Unalaska.
