MR R. S. CLARK ON THE 

 VI. COLLECTION OF FISHES FI;OM CAI-E COLONY. 



Thirty-seven species were secured in May 1904 chiefly from trawlings made at 

 Table Bay, False Bay, oil' Dassen Island and at Saldanha Bay. 



The collection contains a large number of specimens of sharks of the families 

 Care/Hiriit/tr, Scyliorhinidce and S<in<iUih>'. 



Two species have not been .previously recorded from the (.'ape, iVttstc/Hx 

 iiiiiciilntitx and Scatliarn* IJIWHS while a third, Caraiuc dcittex, has been con- 

 sidered a doubtful record. 



The occurrence of Mustclux maculatus at Station 483 is extremely interesting, 

 as the locality of this species was hitherto unknown. 1 



All the others have been recorded either from the Cape, by Dr Gilchrist, 2 or 

 from Natal, by Mr C. Tate Regan. 3 Three species are recorded by Dr Glinther in 

 the Challenger Report on Shore Fishes. 



The following details are extracted from the Station Log of the Scotia, and 

 are inserted here for greater convenience.
