Fishes . g the bony stay of the latter, they show several analogicalresemblances and have very similar habits.

The Bovichlhyidce of NewZealand are also sculpin-like and perhaps belong to the samefamily. Dr. Boulenger places all these Antarctic forms with theforamen outside the hypercoracoid in one family, deep-sea fishes of this type have been lately describedby Dr. Louis DoUo and others from the Patagonian of these forms, Macrtas amissus, lately named by Gill andTownsend, is five feet long, perhaps the largest deep-sea fishknown. The family of Percophidce, from Chile, is also closely. Fig. 611.—Pteropsaron evolans Jordan & Snyder. Sagami Bay, Japan. allied to these forms, the single species differing in slight respectsof osteology. Closely related to the family of Xototlienitdcc and perhapsscarcely distinct from it is the small family of Pteropsarida,which differs in having but one lateral line and the foramenjust above the lower edge of the hypercoracoid. The numer-ous species inhabit the middle Pacific, and are prettily coloredfishes, looking like gobies. Pteropsaron is a Japanese genus,with high dorsal and anal fins; Parapercis is more widely schaiiinslandi is one of the neatest of the small fishes ofHawaii. Several species of Parapercis and Neopercis occur in H Suborder Jugulares 713 Japan and numerous others in the waters of Polynesia. Pseu-delegiims majori of the Italian Miocene must belong near Para-percis. The Bathy master ides, or ronquils, are perhaps allied to theNototheniida; they resemble the OpistJiognathidcB, but the jawsa
