♦"According to Liltken the Greenland Sculpin {groenlandicus) is not separated from scorpius by any character 

 trenchant or constant." "Lilljiberg regards the 2 as identical a view not unlikely correct." Jordan and 

 Evermann. "This form is considered in current ichthyological literature as a sub-species of M . scorpius. -The 

 differences are few but well marked and seem to be constant in such specimens as the writer has been able to 

 examine." Kendall. 



+0. hexacornis, 0. quadricomis, and 0. labradoricus provisionally treated here as one and the same species. 



t'These dwarf specimens may not be separable from Triglopsis which genus is evidently derived from the 

 lacustrine degradation of Oncocottus." Jordan and Evermann.
