512 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. 



Page 70: Myctophum Townsendi, Eigenmann, is pronounced by Jordan and Evermann 

 to be closely allied to Lampa.nyctus alatus, though a distinct species. 



Page 80: Lampanyctus Warmingii was found by Professor Warming in hit. 32° C N., 

 Ion. .;'.»- 28' W. 



Page 82: Xotoscopelus. This genus was first described by Iiisso under the name 

 macrostoma, which being virtually preoccupied in entomology in the form Macrostomus, we 

 unhesitatingly reject. 



Pages.'>: The Macrostoma augustidens of Kisso (Hist. Nat. Eur. Merit., n, 448), although 

 doubtless of this genus, can not. in our judgment, be identified at present with any species. 



Notoscopelus auerdnus. This species is very close.to the Scojwlns- vlongatus of Giglioli 

 and Rafaelle, which can not be far away from that of Costa. We are disposed to believe 

 with Bellotti (Atti Soc. Ital. Soc. Nat., .Milan, 1892,32; Note alManuale.d' Ittiologia.Prance.se 

 del I >ott. Emilio Moreau, L6) that the Scopelus pseudocrocodilus of Moreau (Hist. Nat. Poiss. 

 France, Supp., 1891, 84; Manuel d'Ichthyologie Francaise. IS!)."). 546) is identical with Costa's 

 n. elongatus. 



Page 88: Collettia nocturna. Jordan and Evermann decide that Myctophum nocturnum, 

 Poey (Memorias, Hist. Nat. Cuba, n, 426), probably belongs to the genus Collettia. 



Page 89: Myctophum crenulare. Jordan anil Evermann (Proc. U. S. N. M.. 1880, 274), 

 from off Santa Barbara, is now placed by Jordan in the genus Tarletonbeania. 



Diaphus engraulis, Giinther. Two specimens, identified by Alcock with this species, 

 were taken by the Investigator in the Bay of Bengal at station 115, iu 188 to 220 fathoms 

 (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., August, 1891, 129). Jordan and Evermann refer Scopelus 

 cceruleus, Klunzinger, to the genus Diaphus, and make Myctophum protoculus, Gilberl 

 (Proc. U. S. N. M., 1890, 52), from Albatross, station 3072, 584 fathoms, off Washington, a 

 synonym of l>ia[)lius tin in. 



Page 01: Rhinoscopelus runts was found by Liitken's correspondents in the Atlantic in 

 the following localities: (1) Lat. 20 N., Ion. 48 -.">o \Y. : (2)lat. 34° 50' S., Ion., 4° 30' W.; 

 (3) lat.37 10' S, Ion. 12 E.; (4) lat.:;.'. N. (?) 



Scopelus antarcticus, Giinther, is figured in Challenger Report, wit, PI. i.i. Fig. ]). It 

 is perhaps a Rhinoscopelus. 



Page 92: Scopelus pyrsobolus, Alcock (Scopelus pyrsobolus, Alcock, Ann. and Mag. 

 Nat. Hist., September, 1890, 218, PI. vni, fig. 3, outline). Tins form was obtained by the 

 Investigator off the Madras coast at a depth of 690-920 fathoms. It is impossible to tell to 

 what generic or subgeneric group it belongs, the most important characters having been 

 obliterated before it was studied, but it would seem to resemble in a general way Lampadena.

 Vaillant, Exp. Sci. Trav. et Tal., tin. PI. i\, figs. 2, 2a, 2b. 



According to President Jordan, Stenobrachius of Eigeumann is a synonym of Nanno- 

 brachium, though having the dorsal ending over the third or fourth anal ray, and A', leucop- 

 sarum is a Nannobrachium as well as .V. mexicanum, Gilbert (Proc. V. S. Nat. Mus., 1890, 

 51), from off the coast of southern California, and X. regale, Gilbert (Proc. U. S. Nat. 

 Mus., 1891, 541), from the Santa Barbara Channel, California. 



Scopdenyiik tristis, Alcock (111. Zool. Investigator, Fishes, P1.YII, tig. 7, Calcutta, 1892) 

 is not a member of the Myctophidce, hut apparently has affinities with the .1 ulopidce. 



Page 94: Myctophum leucopsarum, Eigenmann (Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci., 1890, 5), taken off 

 Point Loina, Lower California, in stomachs of Sebastodes, is pronounced by Jordan, who has 

 seen this type, to belong to Nannobrachium. Other species of this genus are that described 

 by (Gilbert under the name Myctophum nannochir, from Albatross station 3072, off the coast 

 of Washington, and since found at various points, from the Santa Barbara Islands to Alaska. 

 Myctophum mexicanum, Gilbert (Proc. TJ. S. N. M., 1890, 51), from Albatross stations 3008, 

 3000, off Lower California, and .1/. regale, Gilbert, from the Albatross collections iu Santa 

 Barbara Channel in liOO to 820 fathoms. 



Page 03: The following new arrangemeut of Maurolocidce will be proposed by Jordan 

 and Evermann in their new Manual of the Fishes of North America.
