Glyptophidium macropus, Alcock (Journ. Asiatic Society of Bengal, i.xiii. Pari n. No. 

 i!. p. 8, PI. vr, fig. 3), closely allied to <l. macropus, was taken by the Investigator at station 

 102. in the Bay of Bengal. 1 15 to 250 fathoms.

To the synonymy of Weobythites add Pycnocraspedum, Alcock. 



Weobythites squamipinnis, Alcock (= Pycnocraspedum squamipinnis), occurs in the Bay of 

 Bengal, in 145 to 250 fathoms.

Weobythites steatiticus, Alcock (Journ. Asiatic Soc. of Bengal, i.xii. Part II, No. 4, 1893, 

 p. 12. PI. ix, tig. 3), was obtained from 128 fathoms in the Bay of Bengal. 



Page 326: Weobythites macrops, Giinther, is reported by Alcock from the Bay of Bengal, 

 Investigator station 115, ISO to 220 fathoms, twenty specimens varying in length from 4 to 

 8i inches having been taken in this locality in 1889 (Alcock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 

 1891, July 30). The Investigator also obtained it in the Andaman Sea in 265 to 271 (not 71 

 as stated in text) fathoms.

Bassogigas grandis, Giinther, is represented by a single specimen obtained by the (Jhal- 

 lenger at station 237, south of Yeddo, near Yokohama, Japan, at a depth of 1,875 fathoms. 



Bassogigas pterotus, Alcock, was obtained by the Investigator at a depth of 1,000 

 fathoms, at station 104, in the Laccadive Sea (Alcock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., October, 

 1800, 297,i, also at station 117, in the Andaman Sea, 1,748 fathoms (Alcock, Ann. and -Mag. 

 Nat. Hist., July, 1891, 30). The specimen obtained at the last station was noteworthy from 

 the fact that its pectoral fin rays were very prolonged, reaching to the tenth anal ray, while 

 in the female the pectoral fin rays reached to the first anal ray. 



Bassogigas stelliferoides {= Neobythites stelliferoides, Gilbert, Proc. U. S. N. M.. \m, 

 1800, 112). Many specimens were obtained from Albatross station 2990, off the coast of 

 southern California, in 112 fathoms.

 Weobythites, Goode and Bean. — Journ. Asiatic Society of Bengal, lxiii, Part n, Xo. 2, p. 0. 



Page 337: Several small specimens of Dicrolene multifilis, Alcock, were obtained by the 

 Investigator at station 120 in the Bay of Bengal, at a depth of 240 to 270 fathoms; also 

 others of both sexes at station 130 of the same vessel in the Bay of Bengal, in 281 to 258 

 fathoms (Alcock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist.. November, 1892, 348). 



A good figure is given in ''Illustrations of the Zoology of II. M. S. Investigator^ Part 

 I, PI. ii, fig. 4, Calcutta, 1892. An examination of this figure confirms our opinion that the 

 genus Paradicrolene of Alcock is precisely equivalent to our Dicrolene.

 and Magazine of Natural History," sixth series, Vol. vin, p. 30.

"Alcock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., October, 1890, 297," this being a corrected description of the 

 type species. 



In addition to the specimen recorded, the Investigator obtained another, 6j inches in 

 length, in the Bay of Bengal, at station 112, in 501 fathoms (Alcock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. 

 Hist.. .Tidy. 1891, 29).
