. Bulletin of the United States Fish Commission. Fisheries -- United States; Fish-culture -- United States. 76 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES. The young individual here reported on is much more slender than the type; the depth contained (instead of ) in the length without caudal. The dorsal contains 53 rays, the anal 44 rays, and the pectoral 37 rays. Teeth are apparently arranged in but 7 oblique rows. Disk moderate, its diameter about one-third length of head, its distance from tip of lower jaw two-sevenths length of head. Snout with a shallow open median groove with vertical sides and horizontal floor; no thin median ridge within the groove, as in the type. Pupil minute, elliptical, with horizontal axis. The dorsal fin is much more widely joined to caudal, attached to the basal half of the fin, while the anal is a trifle more widely joined. In spirits, colored much as C. cyclospilus, but the spots smaller, less conspicuous, and those along base of anal are elongate, and obliquely placed. In life, light translucent olive-gray, slightly flushed with reddish; the spots are red rings of various shape surrounding areas of the ground color. The species differs from C. cyclospilus in the presence of the rostral groove, in the long conical overhanging snout, the large size of the pores on snout and mandible, the color, and in many minor characters. The principal character on which the genus Crysiallichtkys was founded, the single nostril, is shared also with Careproctus, with which its two species, mirabilis and cyclospilus, are most closely allied. The genus may be provisionally retained, distinguished by the compressed head and body, the inferior mouth overlapped by the conical snout, the highly translucent gelatinous texture, and the peculiar style of ^^:" Fig. 20.—Careproctus bowersianus, new species.
