Figure 135.—Allomicrodesmus dorotheae, new species, holotype, USNM 113960, from Bikini Atoll. Drawn by A. M. Awl. under fourteenth dorsal ray. I am unable to determine the presence or absence of teeth on vomer or palatines; probably 2 series of conical teeth in jaws; maxillary reaches to a vertical line through front margin of eye. Color in alcohol.—Light brownish. Remarks.—This new genus and species difi'ers from its close relatives as indicated in the key to genera. Named dorotheae in honor of my wife, Dorothea Bowers Schultz, who has illustrated many of the new species in this bulletin. Suborder Cottina (= Scleroparei) By Leonard P, Schultz Family SCORPAENIDAE: Scorpionfishes A study of the pectoral fin rays of certain scorpionfishes indicated that the upper pectoral rays do not become fully branched until some individuals have reached a length of 40 to 50 mm. or longer in stand- ard length. Sometimes the first or second soft ray of the dorsal fin is simple, but this has been ignored in recording the ray counts for that fin. Counts and measurements made on several species are recorded in table 122 and a summary of the cranial spines is given in table 123. Figures 136 and 137 are intended as a guide to the names of the cranial spines for scorpaenid fishes. In 1943 ( Nat. Mus. Bull. 180, fig. 14, p. 168), I tried to stand- ardize the names of the cranial spines by applying to each particular spine the name of the bone on which it occurred, with the notable exception of the "tympanic" and "; Since that time I have investigated the cranial spines on ahnost all of the
