Page 249: Eelicolenus dactylopterus. Collett records the presence of this species 



along the entire coasl of Norway as far north as Tr soe and Finmark, and states thai 



off Stavanger and Bergen it is found :it depths of LOO to 200 fathoms. An individual of 



220 millimeters from Trondhjem's Fiord is in tin iseum ;it Trondhjeni (Christiania 



Vidensk. Selsk. Forhandl., 1879, No. L,9; Norges Fiske, 19, 226). 



It was added to the British fauna in L889 by the Rev. Mr. Green, who took several 

 specimens from the southwest coasl of England in 250 fathoms (Giinther, Ann. and Mag. 

 Nat. Hist.. Dec. L889, 1 1 7 1. Tliis completes the chain of localities from the Mediterranean, 

 lai. 36 N. to lat. 65 69 N. 



The disposition of the Mediterranean zoologists seems to be to regard this form as 

 identical with the Sebastes imperialis of Cuvier ami Valenciennes: See the admirable com- 

 pilation of Doderlein (Manuale [ttiologica del Mediterraneo, L889-1891, p. 272). 



The localities of specimens obtained by the American exploring vessels were not 

 mentioned in the text. They are as follows: Two specimens (Cat. No. 32168, U. S. N. M.) 

 obtained by Capt. J. W. Collins from Id 02' N. lat.. 71 02' W. Ion., and an individual 

 (Cat. No. 32167, U. S. N.M.) also secured by Capt. Collins from the same locality. The Fish 

 Hawk obtained examples (Cat. No. 31602, I". S. N. M.) from station 1098, in 39° 53'K lat., 

 69 13' W. Ion., at a depth of 156 fathoms; Cat. No. 31603, T*. S. X. M., from station 1097, 

 in 39 54' N. lat., 69° 44' W. Ion., at a depth of 158 fathoms, and Cat. No. 31607, D". S.N. M., 

 from station L092, in 39< 58' N. lat., (iic 42' W. Ion., at a depth of 202 fathom-.

 82). Four specimens were obtained from Albatros'. stations 2996 and 3011, off southern 

 California, in 112 and 71 fathoms. 



Sebastes hexanema (Giinther, Challenger Report, vi, 10, PI. xvn, fig. b; xxn, 18). 

 described from off the Ki Islands, Challenger station 192, at a depth of 140 fathoms, and 

 subsequently reported by Aleock from the Arafura Sea, Investigator station lis, at a depth 

 of 108 to 220 fathoms Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist.. July. 1891,23), appears to belong more 

 nearly to the genus Pontinus than to any other, having. as it does, 12 dorsal spines, anal III, 

 5, head scaly above as well as on cheeks and opercles, pectorals not procurrent, pectoral 

 rays simple, suborbital keel with a U'\v strong spines.

Sebastolobus macrochir, Giinther (Challenger Report, loc. tit.), was taken by the Chal- 

 lenger off Nishima, Japan, in 355 fathoms, as well as in shallower water. 



Page 262: Sebastichthys (?) oculatus (C. & V.i. This species, the Sebastes oculatus of 

 Giinther, the Sebastes ocellatus of Cuvier in the illustrated edition of i he Regne Animal, 

 •was obtained by the Challenger at stations 306 and 307, near Magellan Strait, in 117 and 

 345 fathoms. Giinther states that the species lives at certain times or localities much 

 nearer the surface, and is not uncommon along the Antarctic coasts of South America 

 (Challenger Report, xxn, 18). 



The following species of Sebastichthys have been found off the Pacific coasl of North 

 America beyond the 500-foot line:

Diego Biological Laboratory, in. 12; Gilbert, Proc. XJ. S. N. M., xin, 1890, 75). Three 

 specimens obtained by I he Albatross at station 2949, off southern California, in 155 fathom-.
