Bathyseriola cyanea. This form, characterized bj A.lcock as a Oarangid with the general 

 aspect of Cubiceps, was taken al station 120 of the Tnvestiga tor, in the Baj of Bengal, al a 

 depth of 240 to 276 fathoms i A.lcock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist.. July, L891, 23 .

 (Cat. Soc. Nat. Sci. Nap., Hay 30, 1891). 



Page 229: Capros aper, Linnaeus. Thefaci thai the habitat of this species is constantly 

 in rather deep water is made more evident by the capture of a specimen off the southwest 

 cnasi of Ireland at a depth of L80 fathoms, confirming the observations of the French 

 explorers, who found it at from 30 to 17.". fathoms off the coasts of France, Spain, and 

 Morocco. Giinther is of the opinion that the stragglers which have 1 >«-<-n found from time 

 t<> time in considerable numbers along the coast of England came from deep water in the 

 adjoining region (Giinther, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November, L889, 117).

Body elongate, oval in cross section. Seven gill-rakers. A small row of line, closely- 

 set villitorni teeth in the jaws, on the vomer and palatines; on either side, in advance, a 

 canine tooth in the intermaxillary; a row of canines in the upper jaw, along tin' inner-side 

 of the dentary. Preoperculum finely toothed, operculum « ith two spines. Two dorsal tins. 

 the first with nine flexible rays, the second not so high. Scales large, thin, and cycloid; 

 head covered with scales, which are almost entirely hidden under the skin. 



A single species. M.japonicvm, Dcederlein (loc. fit.. PI. i, fig. 2), was obtained at consid- 

 erable depths off Tokio, Japan. This species is generally included in the list of deep-sea 

 forms, and is provisionally assigned to the family Ghilodipteridce.

Parascombrops is a synonym of Acropoma, and Parascombrops pellucidus identical with 

 Acropoma philippinense (see p. 235). Alcock, Journal Asiatic Society of Bengal, lxiii, 

 Part li. No. 2, 1894, p. 2. 



Acropoma philippinense ( = Parascombrops pellucidus, Alcock) is found in the Baj of 

 Bengal in 75 to 1">0 fathoms.
