 Trondhjem's Fiord, in 1880-'81, it has been frequently observed in the same locality at 

 depths of Kid to 300 fathoms. Its northern limit is X. lat. 63 15' (Christ. Vid. Selsk. Forh.,

 northern limit is N. lat. 71° (Christ. Vid. Selsk. Forh., 1882, No.29, I .

 Rev, Bergen and Trondhjem Fiord, and that it is rare elsewhere in Norwegian waters. It 

 is found in depths of loo to 150 fathoms, ami deeper. Its northern limit is N. lat. 63 45

Urolophtis Jcaianus, Giinther (Challenger Report, VI, '■>"; x\ti, 12), was from Challenger 



station I'll', off the Ki Islands, in 1 Id fathoms. 



Urolophus Goodei., Jordan and Bollman (Proc I'. S. Nat, Mus., 1889, p. 151), taken in 

 Magdalen Bay at a depth of 33 fathoms, is probably hemibathybial

Specimens of this species were also taken by the Travailleur at station lxxxvi, off the 

 coast of Soudan, in 800 meters: station xcv, on the Banc d'Arguin, in 1,230 meters; and 

 station i'xwii, off the Azores, in 1,257 meters. 



Vinciguerra obtained a specimen, July 26, 1879, in the Gulf of Genoa, at a depth of 

 600 meters (Crociere delle Violante, 1883, 23 . 



Capello has obtained several specimens in the markets of Lisbon ( Peixes <le Portugal, 

 1880, 43). 



The Rev. Mr. Green obtained an egg capsule off the southwest coast of Ireland at a 

 depth of 315 fathoms (Giinther, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., Dec, 1889, 415). 



The discovery of this capsule confirms Dr. Giinther in his opinion that those previously 

 figured did not belong to Chimosra, but to Gallorhynchus. It is to be hoped that Dr. Vail- 

 lant will publish a statement of the character of the fragments found by him in the Gulf 

 of Gascony and their likeness to the one so well figured by Dr. Giinther.
