Page 210: Scorpfrna scrofn ohcsa. Viuciguerra obtained a spccinu'ii in 1879. 20 miles 

 northeast of Malta, at a depth of 170 meters, and others nearer the slioie at SO meters. The 

 individual taken at the greatest de[)tli differed from the others, resembling Hisso's Scorpana 

 luted, which he suggested was i)robal)ly an inhabitant of considerable dcpt lis (Crociere delle 

 Violaute, 1883,50). 



Steiiidachner suggests that the Scorptena ocellxtK of Lowe, described from ^ladeira, is 

 the young of Seorpo'tta lutca.
