476 Goode and Bean—Two new species of Fishes. 
Four of the six specimens taken had a lernean parasite on 
the gills. 
This species is dedicated to Professor Addison E. Verrill, of 
Yale College, who has been in charge of the invertebrate work 
of the U. S. Fish Commission since its organization. 
In addition to the above species a number of new or unusual 
forms have been taken or observed, among which may be speci- 
fied the following: 
Alutera cuspicauda Dekay. A specimen of this species which 
has not before been recorded north of Cape Cod, was taken in 
Halifax Harbor, September 6. 
Euchalarodus Putnami Gill. Several specimens of this un- 
common species, which had been taken in Salem harbor in 
winter, were found in the collection of the Peabody Academy 
of Sciences. 
Myzopsetta ferruginea (Storer) Gill. Taken in Massachusetts 
Bay in forty-five to ninety fathoms; near La Have Bank in 
ninety fathoms; and at the mouth of Halifax Harbor in sixteen 
to eighteen fathoms. 
Pleuronectes glaber (Storer) Gill. Several specimens, taken in 
Salem Harbor, Mass., were noted in the collection of the Pea- 
body Academy. 
Glyptocephalus cynoglossus (Linn.) Gill. This fish, the Craig 
Flounder or Pole of Kurope is cited by British authors as one 
of the rarest of arctic flounders. It has hitherto been unknown 
to the coast of North America. At least one hundred speci- 
mens have been secured, representing great variety of form, age 
and other conditions. The species was first taken August 6, 
1877, off Salem in forty-five fathoms. It has since been secured 
near La Have Bank in eighty-eight. fathoms, and in Bedford 
Basin, Halifax, in from twenty-five to thirty-five fathoms. 
Hippoglossoides platessoides (Fabr.) Gill. Taken on La Have 
Bank in eighty-eight fathoms. Heretofore recorded only from 
Greenland. It is not identical with H. limandoides as suggested 
by Dr. Giinther. 
A species of the genus Hippoglossoides which is distinct 
from H. platessoides and may prove to be identical with the H. 
limandoides of Giinther has been taken in company with Glyp- 
tocephala seynoglossus in Bedford Basin, Halifax. 
Kthinonemus caudacuta (Storer) Gill. Several specimens 
taken in Massachusetts Bay, and on La Have Bank 
Cryptocanthodes maculatus Storer. One specimen taken in 
Massachusetts Bay, August 13, 1877, in forty-eight fathoms. 
Humesogrammus subbifurcatus (Storer) Gill. A single speci- 
men was taken August 25, 1877 in the mouth of Halifax Har- 
bor in sixteen fathoms. |
