Cadulus (Platyschides) elongatus Henderson 

 Cadiilus {Platyschides']) elongatus Henderson 1920, Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. No. Ill, p. 122, pi. 19, 

 fig. 15. 



Notes. This species was described by Henderson from a unique specimen dredged 

 off the mouth of the Mississippi River in 68 fathoms. A series of five specimens and 

 a number of fragments was obtained by Mrs. L. A. Weisenhaus by washing the mud 

 from a shrimp boat net and anchor. The specimens agree well with Henderson's 

 description. 



Records. TEXAS: off Port Isabel in 50 fathoms. 



Cadulus (Platyschides) braziliensis Henderson 

 Cadulus {Platyschides) braziliensis Henderson 1920, Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. No. Ill, p. 124, pi. 19, 

 fig. 16. 



Notes. The single specimen dredged by the Hassler makes the second known record 

 for this species. Henderson described the species from a lot of two specimens 

 dredged by the Albatross off Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This coast is so poorly known 

 that the few records available are no indication of the abundance or distribution of 

 the species. 



Records. URUGUAY: off Montevideo (S. Lat. 35° 12'; W. Long. 55° 30') in 7 fathoms {Hassler 

 Exped.). 



Cadulus (Platyschides) simpsoni Henderson 

 Cadulus {Platyschides) simpsoni Henderson 1920, Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. No. Ill, p. 127, pi. 19, 

 fig. 17. 



Notes. The Atlantis obtained two lots of this species, bringing the known records 

 up to five. It is probably not a rare species, however, to judge by the size of some of 

 the lots. 



Records. CUBA: Atlantis station 2987E, off Sagua la Grande, Las Villas (N. Lat. 23° 19'; W. 

 Long. 79° 59') in 315 fathoms; Atlantis, station 2963, off Bahia Cochinos, Las Villas (N. Lat. 22° 

 07'; W. Long. 81° 08') in 180-190 fathoms. 



Cadulus (Gadlla) mayori Henderson 

 Cadulus {Gadila) mayori Henderson 1920, Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. No. Ill, p. 133, pi. 19, fig. 3. 



Notes. Like Cadulus elongatus this species was obtained by Mrs. Weisenhaus from 

 the mud on the net and anchor of a shrimp boat. The records from Cuba are the 

 first for that island. 



Records. FLORIDA: 2i miles S.S.E. of Looe Key, Marathon in 50 fathoms; 5 miles E. of 

 Carysfort Light in 96-107 fathoms (both L. A. Burry). TEXAS: off Port Isabel in 50 fathoms. 

 CUBA: Blake, station 20, off Bahia Honda (N. Lat. 23° 02'; W. Long. 83° 11') in 220 fathoms; 

 Atlantis, station 2981C, off Punta Alegre, Camaguey (N. Lat. 22° 47'; W. Long. 78° 49') in 195 

 fathoms; Atlantis, station 2963, off Bahia Cochinos, Las Villas (N. Lat. 22° 07'; W. Long. 81° 08') 

 in 180-190 fathoms. 



Cadulus (Gadila) acus Dall 

 Cadulus acus Dall 1889, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. 18, p. 432, pi. 27, fig. 11. 

 Cadulus {Gadila) acus Dall, Henderson 1920, Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. No. 1 1 1, p. 140, pi. 20, figs. 11,13. 

 Cadulus {Gadilopsis) acus Dall, Emerson 1952, Smithsonian Misc. Coll. 117, No. 6, p. 10. 



Notes. A very large lot of 250 or more specimens was collected by Dr. Clench 

 from a fine grey mud brought up during the channel dredging operations in Puerto 

 Plata Harbor, Santo Domingo.
