510 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. 



Alepocephalus edentulus, Alcock (Joe. cit., 358, PI. xvin, fig. 2), was described from a 

 single specimen, an immature male, nearly 3 inches long, obtained by the Investigator at 

 station 132, in the Bay of Bengal, at a depth of 475 fathoms. 



For the second section of tlie genus, including Alepocephalus Bairdii, Jordan and 

 Evermann propose the generic name MitcMllina. 



Page 37: Alepocephalus tenebrosus, Gilbert (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1891, p. 546), was 

 taken by the Albatross in 350 to 822 fathoms, in the Santa Barbara Channel, California.

 the Zoology of H. M. S. Investigator," Part i, PI. V, fig. 1, Calcutta, 1892.

Page 43: Bathytroctes microlepis, described by Gunther from the Atlantic, was reported 

 by Alcock from the Indian Ocean. It should be noted, however, that the specimen studied 

 by him was, as he himself says, "very badly mutilated and not unequivocally identifiable" 

 (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., December, 1S89, 453).

Page 52: Argentina sialis Gilbert, (Proc U. S. N. M., 1890. p. 56) was obtained by the 

 Albatross at station 3077. coast of California, in 58 fathoms. 



After Argentina add: 



LEUEOGLOSSUS, Gilbert. 

 Leuroglossus, Gilbert, Proc. U. 8. Xat. Mus.. 1890, XIII, 57. 



Ventrals nearly under middle of dorsal. Mandible with a few weak teeth or none. 

 Premaxillaries toothless. A row of stronger teeth on vomer and front of palatines. 

 Tongue toothless. Pyloric; cceca 9. 



Appearance of Argentina, but the snout shorter, the maxillary reaching front of eye, 

 and the tongue toothless. 



This genus is represented by the single species, I. stilbius, of which two specimens 

 were obtained at Albatross stations 2997 and 2998, off Lower California, in 221 and 40 

 fathoms. 



Page 53: Nansenia is a generic name proposed by Jordan and Evermann for M. groen- 

 landicum. 



Bathylagus pacificus, Gilbert. Two specimens were taken by the Albatross off the 

 coast of Washington, at stations 3071 and 3074, in 685 and 877 fathoms (Proc. IT. S. N. M., 

 xin, 1890, 55). 



Page5S: Bathysaurus ferox. To the synonymy add: 

 Bathysaurus oblusirostris,X\u.\.\*\. Exp. Sci. Trav. et Tal., 136, 386, PI. x, fig. 2, PI. xiv, fig. 3. 



Page 59: Warpodon squamosus, Alcock, is fully described in the "Annals and Magazine 

 of Natural History." August, 1891, p. 128. 



Bathysaurus obtusirostris, Vaillant (Exp. Sci. Travailleur and Talisman), is supposed 

 by him to be closely allied to B. mollis described by Gunther, from the Pacific, basing his 

 opinion upon the presence of an adipose dorsal (in in B. mollis and its absence in B. ferox. 

 It is not impossible, however, that the supposed absence of this fin in the latter maybe 

 due to the mutilation of the few specimens in existence. 



Page 00: Chlorophthalmus chalybeius. Examples of this species were obtained by the 

 Fish Hawk in the following localities: Cat. No. 20092, TT. S. N. M., from stations 876, 877, 

 and 878, off Block Island, at a depth of 120 fathoms; Cat. No. 2S995, U. S. N. M., from 

 station 1043, in N. lat. 38° 39', W. Ion. 73^ IP, at a depth of 130 fathoms; Cat, No. 28976, 

 U. S. N. M., from station 1038, in N. lat. 39 58', W. Ion. 70° 06', at a depth of 146 fathoms;
