The Skil-fishes
THIS family is closely allied to Hexagrammidae, from which it differs chiefly in the normal development of the nostrils which are formed as in fishes generally. There are 2 genera, Anoplopoma and Erilepis, only the first of which is of any importance. Its single species is A. fimbria, a very interesting fish occurring on our Pacific Coast from Monterey Bay to Unalaska.
