Pig. 88 . — Sebastcipistes corallicola Jenkins, new species. Type. 
tentacle well developed, just back of supraorbital spine; a tentacle back of posterior vertical spine, 
lapping over edge of maxillary; a strong spine at angle of shoulder-girdle above base of pectoral, sharp- 
pointed, projecting upward and backward; a small, less prominent spine back of this one; gill rakers 
short, 5+10; interorbital space slightly concave with 2 prominent ridges diverging posteriorly and 
ending in the 2 twin spines of those at anterior angles of the occipital depression; dorsal profile of the 
body much more convex, greatest depth at fourth dorsal spine; depth of caudal peduncle equal to eye, 
3.5 in greatest depth of body; fourth dorsal spine the longest, a little greater than half of head; third 
and fifth spines equal, but little shorter than fourth; second 1.5 in third, first 1.75 in second; spines 
back of fourth regularly decreasing in length to next to last, which is 2 in fourth; last longer, equaling 
second; soft rays abruptly longer than last dorsal spines, second, third, and fourth longest, equaling 
longest spine ; last soft rays equal to next to last spine; second anal spine longest and much thicker than 
others, 1.75 in head; first slender, 2 in second; third slender, 0.8 of second; first and second soft rays 
longest, 1.6 in head; caudal slightly rounded; pectoral round, middle rays longest; ventral rounded, 
second ray longest, its spine equal to sixth dorsal spine; head and fins naked.

rupted at front; teeth on vomer in a V-shaped patch, in bands on the palatines equal in length to i 
width of vomerine patch; suborbital 1.5 in eye; a pit below anterior lower angle of eye; anterior nos- 
tril transversely oval, with a tentacle in the inner posterior part of rim, posterior nostril simple, 
circular; snout with a triangular median elevation, the apex between the anterior nostrils; between 
each anterior nostril and apex of rostral elevation is a strong short spine; 6 spines on the upper half 
of ocular rim, first at upper anterior angle, second on upper rim over center of pupil, third over pos- 
terior margin of the pupil, fourth on level with upper edge of pupil, fifth back of center of pupil, sixth 
on level of lower edge of pupil; sixth bifid on each side, fifth bifid on right; occipital depression with 
2 spines at each angle, at the anterior angles one is laterad to the other, at the posterior angles one is 
caudad to the other; a strong spine at upper end of opercle; posterior to this spine and a little above 
it 2 smaller spines just before upper end of gill-slit; posterior to these a single spine at upper end of 
gill-slit; two large diverging spines on opercle; suborbital with a bony ridge without spines except a 
small one on its posterior end; preorbital with 3 spines, 2 directed downward over upper edge of 
maxillary, the other forward over edge of prenn xillary; at angle of preopercle an upper small and a 
lower larger spine, below these on arm of preopercle are 4 decreasingly smaller spines; supraorbital
