. Bulletin of the Bureau of Fisheries. Fisheries; Fish culture. THE FISHES OF ALASKA. 289 Head ; depth ; eye 4; snout ; maxillary 2; mandible ; interorbital ; dorsal xiii, 12; anal iii, 6; gillrakers S+ 19, rather stout, longest in eye; scales 57, pores 48; longest dorsal spine in head; longest dor^al rays 2,1 in head. In other specimens the gillrakers were 10+ 21 or 10+19. Body short, stout, and deep; mouth slightly oMique, lower jaw not projecting, maxillary nearly reaching posterior border of orliit; mandible and maxillary not scaled; nasal, preocular, postocidar, tym- panic and parietal spines present; nuchal, coronal, and supraocular spines absent; preorbital with 2 broad, low points, not spine-like. This species is known to range from Monterey to Sitka in rather deep water, being abundant north- ward. It reaches a length of about 2 feet. It was also recorded from Sitka by Bean (1882) as iSebastichthys waliger. 89. Sebastodes nebtilosus (AjTes). A small specimen (no. 112), inches long, from station 4204. off Fort Rupert. We have also 2 others, 11 and 12 inches long, taken by Mr. H. C. Fassett at Klawak in 1905. Bean (1884) records it from Mary Island. The following measurements are taken from the small example from station 4204; Head ; depth ; eye ; dorsal xiii, 13; anal tn, 6; scales 45 to 47, about 42 pores; gill- rakers long and slender; nasal, preocular. postocular, tjonpanic, and parietal spines present. The color, however, does not exactly agree with that given for this species. Our specimen in alcohol is clayey white, mottled with large, in-egular Ijrown blotches, about 4 along side above lateral line, 2 or 3 immediately below it, and 3 along lower part nf side; .spinous and soft dorsals similarly mottled. 90. Sebastodes nigrocinctus (Ajtcs). Black-banded RoclJ'f^Ji. Two specimens, 13 and 14 inches lung, taken Ijy Mr. H. C. Fassett at Hawak in 1905, and one specimen (no. 2863), 12 inches long, taken by Mr. Chamberla
