Page 249: Helicolenus dactylopterus. (Jollett records the preseuce of this species 

 along the entire coast of Norway as far north as Tromsoe and Finmark, and states that 

 off Stavauger and Bergen it is found at depths of 100 to 200 fathoms. An individual of 

 220 luillimeters I'roni Trondhjeni's Fiord is in the museum at Trondhjem (Christiania 

 Videiisk. Selsk. Forhandl., 1S70, No. 1, 9; Norges Fiske, 19, 226). 



It was added to the British fauna in 1889 by the Rev. Mr. Green, who took several 

 specimens from the southwest coast of England in 250 fathoms ((iiinther, Ann. and Mag. 

 Nat. Hist., Dec, 18S9, 417). This completes the chain of localities from the Mediterranean, 

 lat. 3GO N. to hit. G5-()!)^ N. 



The disposition of the Mediterranean zoologists seems to be to rcg:ird this form as 

 identical witii the Sebdstes imperiaUs of C'livier and Valenciennes: ISee the admirable com- 

 pilation of Dijderlein (Manuale Ittiologica del Mediterraueo, 1889-1891, p. 272). 



The localities of specimens obtained by the American exploring vessels were not 

 mentioned in the text. They are as follows: Two specimens (Cat. No. 32ICS, IT. S. N. M.) 

 obtained by Capt. J. W. Collins from 40^ 02' X. lat., 71° 02' W. Ion., and an individual 

 (Cat. No. 32167, U. S. N. M.) also secured by Capt. Collins from the same locality. The Fisk 

 Haivl- obtained examples (Cat. No. 31602, F. S. N. M.) from station 1098, in 39^ 53' N. lat., 

 09° 43' W. Ion., at a depth of 156 fathoms; Cat. No. 31603, U. S. N. M., fi-om station 1097, 

 in 390 54' N. lat., 69^ 44' W. Ion., at a depth of 158 fathoms, and Cat. No. 31607, U. S. N. M., 

 from station 1092, in 39° 58' N. lat., 69^ 42' W. Ion., at a depth of 202 fathoms. 



Page 252: Fontinns sierra { = Scbastophis .sierra, Gilbert, Proc. U. S. N. M., xiii, 1890, 

 82). Four specimens were obtained from Alhatros'. stations 2996 and .3011, off southern 

 California, in 112 and 71 fathoms. 



Sebastes hcxanema ((iiinther. Challenger Report, Vi, 40, Pi. xvii, tig. b; xxii, 18). 

 described from off the Ki Islands, Challenger station 192, at a depth of 140 fathoms, and 

 subsequently rejiorted by Alcock fiom the Arafura Sea, Inrentigutor station 118, at a depth 

 of 108 to 220 fathoms (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., July, 1891, 23), appears to belong more 

 nearly to the genus Poitfiii us than to any other, having, as it does, 12 dorsal spines, anal III, 

 5, head scaly above as well as on cheeks and opercles, pectorals not procurreut, pectoral 

 rays simple, suborbital keel with a few strong spines.

A', hexanema, Giinther (Ohallenger Report, vi. 40; xxit, 18), was taken off tlic Ki 

 Islands, ClutUenyer station 192, in KiO fatiioms. 



Sebastolobus macrockir, Giinther (Challenger Report, loe. eit.), was taken by the Chal- 

 lewjer off Nisliima, Japan, in 3.55 fatlionis, as well as in shallower water.

 Giinther, the Sebastes ocellatiis of Cuvier in the illustrated edition of tlie Regne Animal, 

 was obtained by the ChaUenffer at stations 3()(i and 307, near Magellan Strait, in 147 and 

 345 fathoms. Giintlicr states that the species lives at certain times or localities nun-h 

 nearer the surface, and is not uncommon along the Antarctic coasts of Soutii America 

 (Challenger Report, xxii, 18). 



The following S])ecies of 8ebasticlillii/s iiavc been found off rlie I'acitic coast of Nortli 

 America beyond the 5(IO-foot line: 



S. Goodei, I'^igenmann (Proc. Acad. Sci. Cal., ill. Mar. 21, 1890; Notes from tiie San 

 Diego Biological Laboratory, in, 12; Gilbert, Proc. U. S. N. M., xiii, 1890, 75). Three 

 specimens obtained byflie Allxitros.snt station 2949, off soutliern California, in 155 fathoms. 



<s'. aintiix. (iilhert (loc. eit., 76). A specimen from Alhatms.s station 29Ki. at a depth of 

 150 fathoms, off southern Calilbrnia. 



S. rupestris, Gilbert {loc. cit., 75). Five specimens from Albatross .stalion 294(i, oH' 

 southern Calilbrnia, in 1.50 fathoms. 



(V. zaeeutrns, Gilbert (loc. cit., 77). Three specimens were taken from .Mlmtruss stations 

 2S9;'> and 2946, ott southern California, in 1 15 and 150 fathoms.
