Aphoristia trifasciata, Alcock I. c, p. L8, PL 711, fig. 4), was found at station 162, 115 to 

 250 fathoms, and station Hi I, 195 to 210 fathoms, in tlie Hay of Bengal.

 Soc. Jour. Zool., x\, 446).

 obtained by him in the Gulf of* Genoa at a depth of 90 meters. 



Page 47(1: Peristedion Vurrayi, Gunther. Alcock records the capture of a single spec 

 imeii identified by him with this species, obtained by the Investigator at station 115, in the 

 Bay of Bengal, at a depth of L88 to 220 fatb s. 



P. cataphraetus (L.) Guv., is said by Risso to occur in deep water off Nice.

 Alcock, Journ. Asiatic Soc. of Bengal, lxiii. Part n, No. 2, 1894, p. 7, PL VI, figs. 2, 2a, 2p) 

 was taken by the In rest i gator at station 151, off Colombo, in 142 to 150 fathoms.

 1883, p. 11; 111. Zool. Investigator, Fishes, PI. ix, fig. 2), is from 128 fathoms in the Bay of 

 Bengal. We propose the generic name Lophiodes for this type of Lophiida-, having the 

 second portion of flic spinous dorsal obsolescent. 



Lophius lugubris, Alcock (op. cit., lxiii, Part n, No. 2, 1894, p. 4), closely allied to the 

 preceding, was found by the Investigator at station 151, off Colombo, in 142 to 400 fathoms. 

 It likewise is a Lophiodes.

MALTHOPSIS, Alcock. (Figure 411.) 



Malthopsis, Alcock, Ann. ami .Mag. Nat. Hist., July, 1891, 26. 



A genus resembling Onchocephalus (=Malthe), but having only two gills on each side 

 instead of two and a half, represented by the single species, Malthopsis luteins (Alcock, h><: 

 cit., PI. vni, fig. 2), of which ten specimens were taken by the Investigator at station 115, in 

 the Andaman Sea, at a depth of 188 to 220 fathoms. 



Page 499: Halieutcea nigra. Alcock (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., July, 1891, 24), was taken 

 by the Investigator at station 115, in the Andaman Sea, at a depth of 188 to 220 fathoms, 

 and is so close to 27. coccinea that Alcock considers it possible, though hardly probable, that 

 it may be its young. 



Halieutcea spongiosa, Gilbert (Proc. U. S. N. M., xiii, 1890, 124). Numerous specimens 

 were obtained from Albatross station 2992, off the California islands, at a depth of 400 

 fathoms. 



Page 499: Halieutcea fumosa, Alcock (Journ. Asiatic Soc. of Bengal, lxiii, Part n, 

 No. 2, 1894, p. 5), is a new species found by the Investigator in the Hay of Bengal, station 

 L62, 145 to 250 fathoms. It. would appear to belong to a distinct subgenus or genus. 



Page 501 : Dibranchus nasutus, Alcock (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., July, 1891, 24, PI. 

 vn, fig. 1), was obtained by the Investigator in the Andaman Sea, at station 115, in LS8 to 

 220 fathoms. 



Dibranchus micropus, Alcock (loc. cit., 25, PI. vn, fig. 2i, was obtained by the Investigator 

 at station 120, in the Bay of Bengal, at a depth of 240 to 276 fathoms. Another specimen 

 was obtained from Investigator station 128, in the Gulf of Manaar, at a depth of 902 

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