In the last-named genus the spinous dorsal is many-rayed, as in Scorpce-nidcs, a fact which has led to its separation by Dr. Gill as a dis- 66o PareioplitiE, or Mailed-cheek Fishes tinct family. But the dorsal spines are equally numerous inJordania, which stands at the opposite extreme of the cottoidseires. In Ascelichthys {rhodoriis), a pretty sculpin of the rock-poolsof the Oregon region, the ventral fins are wholly lost. Eretiniasgrallator, a deep-water sculpin from Japan, without ventrals and
