These specimens range in length from to 15 inches. We have also exam- ined 8 small specimens 3 to 5 inches long dredged among the Santa Barbara Islands at station 2840, and 2 specimens (paper tag no. 110 and 111), each about inches long, from Albatross station 3599, June 9, 1894, in Bering Sea. These specimens had a number of parasites upon them. All these specimens agree in the main with the excellent original description of the species. Speci- men no. 2898, inches long, from Eastern Passage (vicinity of Stikine River Delta), shows some differences, the body being more slender, the eye larger, snout longer, maxillary longer, and the mandible more projecting. It gives the following measurements: Head ; depth ; eye ; snout ; maxillary ; dorsal xiii, 15; anal iii, 8; gillrakers 10 + 28. The young differ somewhat from the adult. The following detailed description is based on a speci- men (no. 97) inches long from station 4285: Head in body; depth ; eye in head; maxillary ; mandible ; snout 4; interorbital ; dorsal xin, 15; ans^liii, 8; ventralsi, 5; pectorals 18; pores 47-f-l on tail, about 51 transverse series of Fig, 34.—Sp-bastodes alutus Gilbert. Body ovate, compressed, both dorsal and ventral outlines gently cui-\'ed; head moderate; mouth medium, .slightly oblique, the tip of premaxillary on a level with pupil, the gape extending to under nostril; maxillary extending to a little beyond vertical at middle of orbit; mandible to posterior margin of pup
