 at station 150 in the Laccaclive Sea, iu 719 fathoms (Alcock, Jouru. Asiatic Society of Bengal,

Page 138: Congermiirwiia longicauda. Iu addition to the locality cited, the Investigator 

 obtained this form at station 120, in the Bay of Bengal, at a depth of 240 to 276 fathoms. 



Alcock states that Coiigcniiura-na longicauda "seems to be characteristic of the Bay of 

 BcTigal between 200 and 300 fathoms" (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November, 1892, 362).

 Bengal, lxiii. Part ii. No. 2, 1894, p. 19, PI. vii, fig. 5) occurs in the Bay of lieugal, 

 station 112, in 165 to 250 fathoms. 



Gongermurwna sqiialiceps, Alcock (Journ. Asiatic Soc. of Bengal, Part il, No. 4, 1883), 

 a species allied to G. megastoma, was obtained in the Bay of Bengal in 128 fathoms, as was 

 also G. nasica, Alcock. 



Jjeptocephalus vulgaris. Many individuals were taken by Vinciguerra in the Gulf of 

 Genoa, July 26, 1879, at a depth of about 600 meters (Crociere delle Violante, 120). 



Uroconger vicinus, Alcock. Alcock identifies with this species a large female, 25 

 inches long, with gravid ovaries, taken by the Investigator at station 132, in the Bay of 

 Bengal, at a depth of 475 fathoms (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November, 1892, 363). 



Page 139: Goloconger r an i cips, A\cock. Alcock states that this si^ecies seems to be 

 characteristic of the Bay of Bengal betweeu 200 and 400 fathoms, occurring in almost every 

 haul (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November, 1892, 364).

Xenomystax trucidens, Alcock (Journ. Asiatic Society of Bengal, lxiii, Part ii.. No. 2, 

 p. 20), found by tlie Investigator in the Laccadive Sea, station 150, 719 fathoms, is closely 

 allied to A', atrarius, Gilbert. 



Page 149: Nettastoma melanurmn. A single individual was taken by Vinciguerra with 

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

 delle Violante, 121). 



Page 156 : Gavialiceps microps, Alcock (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November 1892, 364), 

 gives additional notes upon two specimens, 13 and 15 inches long, obtained by the Investi- 

 gator in the Laccadive Sea, station 126, 1,370 fathoms, and in the Gulf of Manaar, station 

 128, 102 fathoms. He suggests that this species is perhaps identical with that descrilieil 

 by Vaillant under the name Nemichthys infans; in other words, the species discussetl by 

 us under the name of Serrivomer Richardii (.see ]>. 1.55). This opinion is, ofcour.se, simply 

 by way of suggestion. 



The form referred by Wood-Mason to the genus Gavialiceps, under the name G. taniiola, 

 is referred by Alcock to the genus Nettastoma. After a study of numerous sexually imma- 

 ture males and females, nearly 2 feet in length, and several youug ones, from Turestigator
