608 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC lUSIN. 



The tSqnaliis iiyatus of Kafiuesque was described from Sicily, wliere the fishermen of 

 Palermo call it the IJyatu; Gentrophorus uyatus should then be the name of this species. 



A specimen was taken by Vinciguerra in the triilf of Genoa, July, 1879, at a depth of 

 GOO meters {(Jrociere delle Violante, 1883, 18). 



Gentrophorus foliaceus, Giinther (Challenger Eeport, xxii, 5, PI. ii, fig. a) was from 

 station 232, oft" Iiiosima, Japan, at a depth of 245 fathoms. 



G. .squamulmus, Giinther {lot: cit., PI. ii, fig. b) was from the same locality as the 

 preceding. 



Page 14: Genfroscymnus ccclolepis. A female containing five foetuses was taken at Nice 

 in 1883 by the Gal Brothers, and is now in the museum at I'Uorence (Bellotti, Appunti all' 

 Opera del Dottor Emilio Moreau, Milan, 1891, 113; Moreau, Hist. Nat. Poiss., France, 

 Suppl. 9). Another was taken a few days before. 



These captures show that this shark is an inhabitant of the Mediterranean. It will 

 probably be found abundant in 200 to 600 fathoms, especially in the western part of this sea.

Seylliorhinus hispidus (Alcock) [Ann, and Mag. Nat. Hist., August, 1891, 21] was obtained 

 by the Investigator in the Andaman Sea, station 115, 188 to 222 fathoms. 



Seylliorhinus canescens (Giinther) [Challenger Report, xxii, PI. i, tig. a] was obtained 

 by the Challen(jer at station 310, oft' the southwest coast of South America in 100 iathonis.

Page 18 : Pseudotriacis microdon. This species was first made known by Capello from 

 a single specimen obtained at Setubal in 1867. None have since been recorded from 

 Portugal (Peixesde Portugal, 1880, 41). 



Page 20: Pristiurus melanostomus. Vinciguerra obtained sixty-six specimens, nearly 

 all females, in the Gulf of Genoa, July 26, 1879, at a depth of about 600 meters (Crociere 

 delle Violante, IS). The Rev. W. Spottswood Green obtained a young specimen at a depth 

 of 150 fathoms off the southwest coast of Ireland in July, 1889 (Giinther, Ann. and Mag. 

 Nat. Hist., Dec, 1889, 415). 



Page 24: Ghlamydoselaehus nnguineus. Collett has recently announced the very sur- 

 prising fact of the occurrence of this form at Madeira, where the Prince of Monaco obtained 

 a young female, 610 millimeters long, in March, 1880, thus bringing this strange family and 

 genus into the Atlantic (Collett, Bull. Soc. Zool. France, 1890, 219). 



Raia isotraehys (Challenger Report, xxii, 7, PI. in) was from Challenger station 235, 

 south of Japan, in 365 fathoms. 



Page 25: Raia lintea, Fries. Collett reports that several individuals were taken at 

 JaHlereu's Rev, at about 100 fathoms depth, and that its northern limit is about N. lat. 59° 

 (Christ. Vid. Selsk. Forh., 1882, No. 29, 4). 



Raia niamiUidcns, Alcock (Ann. aud Mag. Nat. Hist., November, 1889, 380; 111. Zool. 

 Investigator, Fishes, PI. viii, fig. 1). was taken by the Investigator in the Gulf of Mauaar, 

 N. lat. 6o 29', E. Ion. 79° 34', at a depth of 597 fathoms. 



Raia radiata. Collett reports this species along tlic entire length of the Norwegian 

 coast to the Russian boundary, and that it is numerous in the fiords of Finmark. Its 

 northern limit is the northwest coast of Spitzbergen, N. lat. 80°. The greatest depth at 

 which it has been fouiul is 450 fathoms (Collett, Christ. Vid. Selsk. Forh., 1882, No. 29, 3). 



Page 27: Raia cireularis. Collett reports that this species is found on the coast of 

 Norsvay at depths of 100 to 300 fathoms, and that its northern limit is about N. lat. 59° 

 (Christ. Vid. Selsk. Forh., 1882, No. 29, 4). 



Raia senta, Garman, (Proc. IT. S. Nat. Mus., vill, 1885, p. 43), was taken on Le Have 

 Banks, and is doubtless hemibathybial in its distribution. 



Raia aleutica, Gilbert and Thoburn (Bull. U. S. Fish Com., 1894), was taken in 81 

 fathoms, south of Unalaska, and is also doubtless hemibathybial.
