Yellow-backed Rock-fish, Sebastodes maliger (Jordan and Gilbert). 53. Red Greenling, Hexagrammos superciliosus (Pallas).. 28 10 inches. The body is relatively deeper than in other memhers of thisfamily and the snout is acutely pointed. The sides are traversed byalternate vertical stripes of black and of pale orange. It is not usedfor food. The Broad-finned Greenling, Zaniolepis latipinnis (Girard), maybe recognized by the great height of the dorsal fln and the presenceof several exceedingly long free spines at its anterior end. The scalesare small and very rough. It is edible but is not abundant. Its lengthis about 12 inches. FAMILY 33. SKIL-PISHES; ANOPIyOPOMATIDAE. This family is a small one, containing but two genera, each with asingle species, but both of these are of great interest. The group isclosely allied to the preceding family, the Hexagrammidae, and bysome authors the two are united. The Black Cod or Skil-fish, Anoplopoma fimbria (Pallas), (Pig. 58)which is of course no relative of the true cod, has come into extensiveuse as a food fish in recent yea
