A*, brevidorsalis, from the Pacific Ocean, north of New Guinea, 1,070 fathoms, and oft 

 Japan, 345 fathoms (Giinther, Challenger Report, xxu, 255, pi. lxiii, fig. c), resembles S. 

 pinnattis in general structure; but its dorsal fin begins far behind the vent, rather than 

 above it, as in the other species. 



The species described by Dr. Giinther as *S". affinis is now considered by him to be iden- 

 tical with the Atlantic form. It was taken by the Challenger, station 232, off Inosima, 

 Japan, 345 fathoms.
