Fig. 394.—Oncocottus qiindricu taken in 664 fathoms off Bogoslof Island and Zesticelus batliybiiis off Japan. In this genus the body is very soft and the skeleton feeble, the result of deep-sea life. Another deep-water genus less degraded is Cottunculus, from which by gradual loss of fins the still more degraded Psychrolutes {paradoxus) and Gilbertidia {sigolutes) are perhaps descended. In sculpins of this type the liparids, or sea-snails, may have had their origin. Among the.
