526 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. 



were obtained by the. Challenger at station 300, in the Messier Channel, at a depth of 345 

 fathoms; also at station 312, in Port Famine, at a depth of 10 to 15 fathoms, and at station 

 313, oft' Cape Virgins, in 55 fathoms. 



Page 290: Hypsicometes gobioides. The, fish described under the name Bathypercis 

 platyrhynchus by Dr. Alcock, in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, lxii, Part n 

 No. -1, 1893, p. 11, PI. ix, fig. 1, resembles Hypsicometes, Goode. It is from 128 fathoms in 

 the Bay of Bengal. Dr. Alcock states that Bathypercis is identical with Bembrops of 

 Steindachner-(Sitzungsber. Akad. Wiss. Wlen, lxxiy, Part i, p. I'll). 



Page 291: Champsodon vorax. A specimen of this species was also taken by the 

 Challenger outside Nares Harbor, Admiralty Islands, in 152 fathoms (Giinther, dial 

 lenger Report, vi, Shore.Fishes, 56).

 great depth off the coasfrof Portugal in 1878. (Peixes de Portugal, 1880, 32.) 



The only known specimen of Pseudiscopelus scriptus was taken by Capt. A. P.Andrea 

 at the entrance to the Old Bahama Channel. 



Page 294: Uranoscopus Kaianus, Giinther (Challenger Report, vi, Shore Fishes, 13. PI. 

 xix. Fig. A: xxu. 49). Specimens, from 7 to lOinches Long, were obtained by the Challenger 

 at station 192, off the Ki Islauds, in 129 fathoms, and at station L88, in the Arafura Sea, in 

 28 fathoms.

Page 295: Gobius cometes, Alcock. The depth at which this species is found is 98 to 

 102 fathoms. 



Page 296: Callionymus. Vinciguerra obtained two small examples of the specimen 

 identified by him with ('. maculatus, Rafinesque, 20 miles northeast of Malta, at a depth of 

 170 meters (Crocicre delle Violante, 1883, 69 . 



I'a.^e 303: Lycodes' brevipes, Bean (Proc. U. S. X. M. xm, 1890, 38). Many specimens 

 were obtained by the Albatross at station 2848, between (Jnga and Nagai islands, at a depth 

 of 110 fathoms.

The length of the head is a little more than that of the trunk and a little less than one- 

 fifth of the total. Eyes large, two sevenths of the length of the head, and longer than the 

 snout, which is broad, with the upper jaw overlapping the lower: teeth in bands of moderate 

 width, subequal in size; a small patch of teeth on the vomer, and a few teeth anteriorly on 

 the palatine bones. More or less shallow grooves along the infraorbital and the mandible. 

 Gill-opening of moderate width. The dorsal commences above the posterior portion of the 

 pectoral; length of the pectoral one half of thatof the head; each ventral reduced to a short 

 simple filament. Yellowish, with nine broad, dark-brown bands across the upper half of the 

 fish, separated from one another by very narrow interspaces of the ground color. The cross 

 bars are lighter in the center. subocellated,.and extend on to the dorsal fin. A brown band 

 runs from the snout through the eye to the end of the operculum; throat and abdomen 

 blackish [Giinther). 



A single specimen, 5 inches long, was taken by the Challenger al station 309, Straits of 

 Magellan, in 40 to 140 fathoms (Giinther).

Lycenchelys albus (Vaillant), Goode and Bean (Lycodes albus, Vaillant, Exp. Sci. Trav. 



ct. Tal., 3(19. PI. xxvi, fig. 1). This species is, as suggested by Vaillant, evidently closely 

 allied to Lycodes murama, but it appears to be somewhat thicker, and is, furthermore, found 

 at a much greater depth and much farther to the southward. The description of Vaillant 

 is as follows:
