 Challenger at station 300, in the middle of the South Atlantic, in 1,375 fathoms; and a single 

 specimen, 1 inches long, at station 335, off Juan Fernandez, in 1,425 fathoms. ( Oimther, /. c.) 



Chlorophthalmus corniger, Alcock (Journ. Asiatic Society of Bengal, l.xni. Pari n, Nb.2,

Bathypterois insularum, Alcock (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November, L892, 356), is a 

 species described by Alcock from two adult females, 5.} inches long, with gravid ovaries, 

 obtained by the Investigator, at station 121, in the Laccadive Sea, at a depth of 1,140 

 fathoms.

Page 71: Myctophum pterotus, Alcock (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist.. September, L890, 

 217; 111. Zool. Invest iga tor, Fishes, PI. ix, tig. 3). This species, from the Bay of Bengal, is 

 represented by about sixty specimens taken by the Investigator at station 96 off the Madras 

 coast, at a depth of lis to 102 fathoms. It is apparently somewhat similar to J/, remiger, 

 but has a longer anal fin and a smaller eye.

Page 78: Myctophum californiense, Eigenmann (West American Scientist, November, 

 1889, p. 124), is thought by Jordan andEvermann to resemble the Myctophum lumps of Rich- 

 ardson (Scopelus lumps, Giinther). 



Scopelus arcticus, Liitken, spolia atlantica, scopeluii, 29, from Davis straits, is placed by 

 them in this genus.
