444 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. 



U. S. X. M., from station 878, in 39° 55' N. lat., 70° 54' 15" W. Ion., at a depth of 142J 

 fathoms; Cat. No. 26127, U. S. X. M., from station 873, in 40° 02' N. lat., 70° 57' W. Ion., at 

 a depth of 100 fathoms, and Cat. No. 26121, U. S. N. M., from station 877, in 39° 56' N. lat. 

 70° 54' 18" YY\ Ion., at a depth of 126 fathoms. Numerous specimens taken by the Fish 

 Hawk on September 4, 1880, ranged in length from 90 to 140 meters The females were 

 fall of ripe spawn. It is not probable, therefore, that the average size of the species is 

 much greater than that of the specimens described. 



The Blake secured examples as follows: Eight young individuals, the longest measuring 

 2 inches, from station cccxni, off Charleston, S. C, in 75 fathoms; 3 specimens, badly mu- 

 tilated, from station cecxxxvi, in 38° 21' N. lat., 73° 32' W. Ion., at a depth of 197 fathoms;

 142 fathoms, and from station cccxxxv, in 38 c 22' 05" N. lat., 73° 33' 40" W. Ion., at a depth 

 of X'.i fathoms. The peculiar elongated snout, similar to that of Macrurus, is characteristic 

 of the larger individuals.
