Any of several species of roundmouths (see CycLCS- TOMI) that live parasitic upon fishes, and struc- turally are closely related to the lam])rey (q.v.). They are eel-shaped in form and individmils of the genus Bdellostoma may reach a length of HAGFI8H [Myxine glutiDosa). 1.

The common hag or 'slime-eel' (Myx- inc glutinosa) may grow to be eighteen inches long, and is found on both coasts of the North Atlantic south to Cape Cod.

The eyes are very rudimentary and sunk beneath the skin. The six gill-pouches empty separately internally into the phar™x. but externally by a single tube. There are no bones; the skeleton is membranous and cartilaginous. The eggs are large, are inclosed in a horny case, and bear hooked processes at each end for attachment to
