518 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. 



station 120, Bay of IJciigal, 120 to 70 fatbouis, Alcock states that the species was originally 

 described from iiiiuiature iiidividnals, and was included with (Inrialici'ps micropa in a new 

 genus. The investigation of full-grown individuals shows that tliis species has no ])lace in 

 tlie genus Garialiripx, which is a true Neniichtliyine form without tins, but that it ought to 

 be ranked with Xetlmtoma (Alcock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1891, lo(J). 



Page 158: Iiiresfii/ator, Goode, new genus. A genus of Nemiclitlti/iihr api>arently 

 allied to the Sj)inironu'ri)i:r and to the genus Srrriri)mrr, the jaws being moderate and 

 the length of the suout little more than half th.it of the heail. '-The gill openings, which 

 are wide, are separated from one another only by a thiu fold of the skin," as in Spinivom- 

 erinw. "Small recurved asjierities in crowded bands form the dentitions of the jaws and 

 vomer." A long series of stout, sharp, close-set siunes like those of XolnrantlniH occupying 

 the middle third of the dorsal liu. I'ores of lateral line arranged in i|uinrunces. Type, 

 Invisti<i«tor (icniiflioiiolus (Alcock). (Journ. Asiatic Society of" Bengal, i.xiii.Part ii, No.

 Expedition off the coast of Morocco, iu depths of 1,0.")0, 1,400, and 2,.>00 ujcters.

 occurrence still more incomprehensible.

Bcry-v dcmdacti/hix. A stray si»ecinien was taken at Nice in July, 1885, and is now 

 in (Jiglioli's collection in Florence. This would indicate that this si)ecies is becoming a 

 membei' of the deei>-sea fauna of the Mediterranean. 



Page 178: I'lcctroiiiH.s (/) iiiirrop.s {Mel((mph((l-.s vikroihs, Giinther, Challenger Keport,

 and Kerguelen Island, at a depth of 1,.'573 fathoms. 



I'age 179: Plcctromiiti crislicejjn {= Melamphai's crixtiveps, Gilbert). A specimen, ^T 

 iuclies long, was obtained from Alhatrofis station 3075, off the coast of Oregon and Wash- 

 ington, at a depth of 8."')9 fathoms (Proc. U. S. N. M., xiii, 1890, 60). 



Plectroiiiiis luguhrix (= Mi'lumplmrx hiyitbris, Gilbert) was obtained by the Albutruss at 

 station 292.'{, off southern California, at a depth of 8.'52 fathoms. It is evidently a Ptectro- 

 mus rather than Milam fihal's, having the dorsal overlapping the anal, and having three 

 spines in the dorsal (Gilbert, Proc. I". S. N. M., Xiii, 1890, 00).

 tig. 2. — (iiiiither. Challenger l\ei)ort, XXII, 23). A specimen, 7A inches long, was found 

 dead and Hoating on the surface of the water near Stewart Island; a second of the same 

 length was caught in Otago Harbor, September 6, 1884; and a third smaller one since that 

 date. 



Trachichihys Jernandezitiiui.s, (iiinther (Challenger Keport, xxii, 23). Two specimens, 

 preserNcd in a dry state, were contaiued in the series of Chilean fish presented by the 

 Chilean Government to the ]5ritish Museum. They were stated to ha\c been (•a]>tured at 

 Juan I'crnandcz, and arc 5 inches long.

 Giiuther, Challenger Keport, xxii, 22). \ single si)ecimen, '>h inches long, was found in 

 Port Jackson on the 19th of Septemb(^r, 1877. 



Trachichthyx auxtralix, Shaw (Nat. Misc., 378. — (iiinther. Cat. Fish. Brit. Mus., i, 10;

 seen only one other, 2 inches long, which also is stated to ha\e come from Australia."
