Color in alcohol slaty blue abovo, gradually fading to dusky whitt' below; a dusky patch at front edge of dorsal; anal and lower rays of caudal speckled; pectorals dusky; ventrals and soft dorsal plain. The collection contains 227 specimens varying from to inches. Two of these were collected by the Albatross in 1894, one in Promise Bay and the other at Atka Island. One is a female containing mature eggs the size of mustard seed. The other specimens were collected by Mr. Rutter on the beach at Karluk, June 8-10, 1903. The following counts of 159 specimens collected at Karluk .show the variations in the anal rays: Seven have 13 anal rays, 106 have 12 anal rays, 45 have 11 anal rays, and 1 has 10 anal rays. These also show great variation in color and in markings, the ground color varying from plain olivaceous to rosy, and some being almost plain, others much speckled and mottled. In all these specimens the 2 black blotches on spinous dorsal are present, but they vary in size and distinctness. In many the tips of the spines project slightly as minute filaments, and the fin is not evenly rounded, being higher in front. In nnbryum the fin is not so high, but is rounded, being higher in the center. This species can not be separated from B. embryum on the number of the anal rays, as both frequently have 11, embryum usually having 10 or 11 and aciiticcps varying from 10 to 13. Described l>y Gilliert (1893) as OliqocoUns aaiticeps, from Unalaska. Recorded by Rutter (1899), as Orycottiis uniticeps. fi'om Karluk. 155. Blennicottus globiceps (Girard).
