512 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. 



Page "!): Mi/ctophitm Toirnsoidi, Eigeiimaiiii, is proiuiiiiicotl by Jordau and Evermaim 

 to be closely allied to Lampunyctu.s alattis, tliougli a distinct species. 



Page 80: LamimnyvUin Warmingii was found by Professor Warming in lat. 32^ C N., 

 Ion. 39= 28' W. 



I'age 82: Kotoscopt'lus. This genus was first described by IJis.so under tlie name 

 macrostoma, which being virtually preoccupied in entomology in the form MacrostoniKs. we 

 unhesitatingly reject. 



Page 83: The Macrostoma aiujuHtidens of Risso (Hist. Nat. Eur. Merit., ii, 448), although 

 doubtless of this genus, can not, in our judgment, be identified at present with any species. 



JS'otmcopihis qucrcinufi. This species is very close^to the Scopclus- clongatus of Giglioli 

 and Uafaelle, which can not be far away from that of Costa. We are disposed to believe 

 with Bellotti (Atti See. Ital. Soc. Nat., Milan, 1892, 32; Note al Mannale.d' Ittiologia.Francese 

 del Dott. Eniillo Moreau, 10) that the Scopelns psenilocroeodiliis of Jloreau (Hist. Nat. Poiss. 

 France, Supp., 1891, 84; Manuel d'lchthyologieFrancaise, 1895, aK!) is identical.with Costa's 

 S. eloiu/atus. 



Page 88: CoUcttia nocturna. Jordan and Evermann decide that Myctophum iiovlunitun, 

 Poey (Memorias, Hist. Nat. Cuba, ii, 426), probably belongs to the genus CoUettia. 



Page 89: Bli/ctophnm crcnuUire. Jordan and Evermann (Proc. U. S. N. M., 1880, 274), 

 from ofl' Santa L>arbara, is now placed by Jordan in the genus Tarhioubeania. 



Biaphus engrauUs, Gi'.nther. Two specimens, identified by Alcock with this species, 

 were taken by the Invesfigator in the Bay of Bengal at station 115, in 188 to 220 fatlioms 

 (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., August, 1891, 129). Jordan and Evermann refer Scopelns 

 cwruleus, Klunzinger, to the genus Diaphus, and make Myctophum protoculus, Gilbert 

 (Proc. U. S. X. M., 1899, 52), from Albatross, station 3072, 584 fathoms, off Washington, a 

 synonym of Diaphus Iheta. 



Page 91: Bhinoscopclus rams was found byLiitken's correspondents in the Atlantic in 

 the following localities: (1) Lat. 20'= N., Ion. 480-50° W.; (2) lat. 34° 50' S., Ion., 4° 30' W. ; 

 (3) lat. 37° 40' S , Ion. 12° E.; (4) lat. 33° N. ( ?) 



Scopelns antarcticus, Giinthcsr, i"s figured in Challenger Beport, xxii, PI. li. Fig. D. It 

 is perhaps a lihinoscopelns. 



Page 92: Scopelns pyrsobolus, Alcock (Scopelus pyrsobolus, Alcock, Ann. and Mag. 

 Nat. Hist., September, 1890, 218, PI. viii, fig. 3, outline). This form was obtained by the 

 Investif/ator oft' the Madras coast at a depth of 690-920 fathoms. It is impossible to tell to 

 what generic or subgeneric group it belongs, the most important characters having been 

 obliterated before it was studied, but it would seem to resemble in a general way Lampadena.

 Vaillant, Exp. Sci. Trav. et T;.l., lli», PI. ix, figs. 2, 2a, 2b. 



According to President Jordan, Stexobrachiiis of Eigenmann is a synonym of Namn- 

 brachi urn, though having the dorsal ending over the third or fourtli aual ray, and S. leucop- 

 sarum is a Nannobrachium as well as N. mexicanum, Gilbert (Proc. IT. S. Nat. Mus., 1890, 

 51), from off the coast of southern California, and X. regale, Gilbert (Proc. U. S. Nat. 

 Mus., 1891, 541), from the Santa Barbara Channel, California. 



Scopelengys fm<»s, Alcock (111. Zool. Investigator, Fishes, Pl.Vii, fig. 7, Calcutta, 1892) 

 is not a member of the Myeti>phida\ but apparently has allinities with the Aulopida: 



Page 94: Myctophum Icuropsarum, Eigenmann (Proc. Cat. Acad. Sci., 1890, 5), taken off 

 Point Loma, Lower California, in stomachs of Sebastodes, is pronounced by Jordan, who has 

 seen this type, to belong to Xaunobrachinm. Other species of this genus are that described 

 by Gilbert under the name Myctophum naiinockir, from Albatross station 3072, off the coast 

 of Washington, and since found at various points, from the Santa Barbara Islands to Alaska, 

 Myctophum me.ricanum, Gilbert (Proc. U. S. N. M., 1890, 51), from Albatross stations .3008, 

 3009, off' Lower California, and M. regale, Gilbert, from the Albatross (-ollections in Santa 

 Barbara Channel in COO to 820 ftithoms.
