Page 138: Gongermurmna longicauda. In addition to the locality cited, the Investigator 

 obtained this form at station 120, in the Bayof Bengal, at a depth of 240 to 270 fathoms. 



Alcock states that Congermurwna longicauda •• seems to he characteristic of the Bayof 

 Beugal between 200 and 300 fathoms" (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist.. November, 1892, 362).

 Bengal, lxiii, Part it. No. 2, 1804, p. 19, PI. vn, fig. 5) occurs in the Bayof Bengal, 

 station 112, in 165 to 2">0 fathoms. 



Gongermurmna squaliceps, Alcock (Journ. Asiatic Soc. of Bengal, Part n, No. I, 1883), 

 a species allied to G. megastoma, was obtained in the Bay of Bengal in 128 fathoms, as was 

 also G. nasica, Alcock. 



Leptocephalus vulgaris. Many individuals were taken by Viuciguerra in the Gulf of 

 Genoa, July 26, 1879, at a depth of about 600 meters (Crociere delle Violante, 120). 



Vroconger vicinus, Alcock. Alcock identifies with this species a large female, 25 

 inches long, with gravid ovaries, taken by the Investigator at station 132, in the Bay of 

 Bengal, at a depth of 175 fathoms (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November, 1892, 363). 



Page 139: Coloconger raniceps, Alcock. Alcock states that this species seems to be 

 characteristic of the Bayof Bengal between 200 and 100 fathoms, occurring in almost every 

 haul (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November, 1892, 364 .

Xenomystax trucidens, Alcock (Journ. Asiatic Society of Bengal, lxiii. Part II., No. 2, 

 p. 20), found by the Investigator in the Laccadive Sea, station 150, 7 1 !> fathoms, is closelj 

 allied to X. atrarius, Gilbert. 



Page 140: Nettastoma melanurum. A single individual was taken by Viuciguerra with 

 long lines in the Gulf of Genoa, July 26, 1879, at a depth of about 000 meters (Crociere 

 delle Violante, 121). 



Page 150: Gavialiceps microps, Alcock Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November 1892,364), 

 gives additional notes upon two specimens, 13 and L5 inches long, obtained by the Investi 

 gator in the Laccadive Sea, station 120, 1,37b fathoms, and in the Gulf of Manaar, station 

 12S, 102 fathoms. He suggests that this species is perhaps identical with that described 

 by Vaillant under the name Nemichthys in/ans; in other words, the species discussed by 

 us under the name of Serrivomer Richardii (see p. 155). This opinion is. of course, simply 

 by way of suggestion. 



The form referred by Wood-Mason to the genus (larialicep.s. under the name G. tamiola, 

 is referred by Alcock to the genus Nettastoma. After a study of numerous sexually imma- 

 ture males and females, nearly 2 feet in length, and several young ones, from Investigator
