In Fig. 565 I have represented a scale from a surface fish, Polyprion americanus, 49 cm. in length, taken in the surface waters at Station 56. In the scales of all these fishes, taken under such various conditions, we observe peculiarities of struc- ture, resembling the rings produced by the fish from boreal waters. of a fish 42. I.
