Goode and Bean—Two new species of — 473 
of longest ray A posterior third) 0-004 m., which 3 is less than 
length of bar All rays very feeble. ‘Membrane scarcely 
perceptible. : 
Distance of anal from snout (0-070 m.) three and four-fifth’ 
times in its length of base, its origin under 18th seale of 
lateral line. Length of first ray (0° 006. m m.) one-half the length 
of tenth ray (0 012 m. ), and three times the length of last ray 
(0-002 m.), the length of rays increasing to a point beneath ante- 
lope part of first dorsal, and thence gradually decreasing to tip 
) 
Distance of pectoral from snout (0-048 m.) four times width 
of interorbital area; its length (0°029 m.) twice the length of 
mandible. . Insertion above the middle of the depth of the 
body, on a level with center of es be its third ray jconent its 
tip reaching to vertical from base o f fourth anal ra y: 
Insertion of ventral behind pectoral and slisibek under that 
of first dorsal; its distance nie snout (0°053 m.) slightly ex- 
ceeding twice ‘its length (0°025 m.). Tip of ventral filament 
reaches to base of third oe 
Radial formula: D. I, 11. 137; A 4208 Podht- Vet, 
Color: Ground color, light brownish eray ; under parts, sil- 
very; belly, darker, bluish. Under surface of snout, pink, as 
is also the first dorsal except spines. Spines of dorsal, ventral 
and anterior anal rays, blackish. Throat, branchiostegal mem- 
brane and isthmus, rich deep violet. Sclerotie coat, green. 
Hyes, very dark blue 
Spermaries well dossieied: but milt not mature. Individ- 
ual apparently adult. 
This species is dedicated to Professor Spencer F. Baird, LL.D., 
Assistant ce ica of the Smithsonian Institution, Director of 
the U. ional Museum and U. 8. Commissioner of Fish 
and Fisheries. 
Another interesting form is a species of Lycodes taken in the 
trawl thirty miles south of Cape Negro, N. 8S. (localities 44 and 
45), in ninety fathoms, fine sand and mud bottom, and twenty- 
seven miles south of Chebucto Head, Halifax, (locality 83) 101 
fathoms, fine sandy mud. Five specimens (Cat. N o. U.S. Nat. 
Mus. 21,013) were taken in the first locality and one (No. 
21,015) in the latter. 
Eleven species of this genus have been described, eight of 
which are found in arctic seas, three in antarctic, the latter be- 
ing — by Dr. Giinther into a distinet section of the 
genus. The form under consideration is — by (1) 
its elongated form, which it shares, with J. (2) the 
great proportional length of the maxillaries ; (8) ie bake presence 
and arrangement of scales; (4) by various proportions of par 
‘which distinguish it from one or all the allied species; (5) the 
presence of five rays in the ventral fin, and; (6) by coloration.
