Pectoral \^ in herd; ventral about as long as eye; longest dorsal ray 3f in head; vent in middle of total length, immediately behind third cross band; longest anal ray 4^ in head; scattered scales present on posterior two-thirds of tail in 1 specimen (type of L. co -cineuH), wholly wanting in the others, typical of L. tiirniTi; no scales on the tins; no trace of lateral line. Color light brown; abdomen grayish brown; lower parts of head cream; a baud of cream on the anal from origin of rays to about their middle; a crescentic V-shaped band of same color, n:"ttled with umber, crossing nape and continuing behind pectonils, extending backward to the first cross bar; a streak of cream, more or less interrupted by umber, extending backward from eye across cheek almost to end of operculum; 10 bands of cream color, bordered with dark umber, from tips of dorsal rays extending on lower half of body, be«*oining wider and somewhat broken below middle of body; a very indistinct caudal tip of cream color. In young examples these markings are very distinct; in older ones they grow progressively more obscure, the oldest having scat- tering blotches of cream color inst'^ad of bauds, the V-shaped nuchal band persisting longest. The type of Lycodes cocoincus is described as brown, red below; pectorals reddish brown above, carmine below; 9 bluish-white bands on the dorsal;
