Page 323: Bassozetiis tcenia was obtained by the Challenger in the mid- Atlantic 



(station 104), lat. 2° 25' N., Ion. 20° 1' W., at the depth of 2,500 fathoms.

 of the Zoology of H. M. S. Investigator,^' Part I, PI. ii, fig. 3, Calcutta, 1892. 



Glyptophidium macropus, Alcock (Jourii. Asiatic Society of Bengal, LXiii. Part ii, No. 

 2, p. 8, PI. VI, tig. 3), closely allied to G. macropuH, was taken by the Investigator at station 

 162, in the Bay of Bengal, 145 to 250 fathoms.

 tiie Zoology of H. M. S. Investigator,^^ Part i, PI. T, Fig. i, Calcutta, 1892. 



To the synonymy of Xeohi/thites add Pycnocranpedum, Alcock. 



Neohythites sqiKonipinni.s, Alcock {—Pycnovraspedum squamipinnis), occurs in the Bay of 

 Bengal, in 145 to 250 fathoms.

KeohythitvH stcatiticm, Alcock (Journ. Asiatic >Soc. of Bengal, LXir, Part ii, No. 4, 1893, 

 p. 12, PI. IX, fig. 3), was obtained from 128 fathoms in the Bay of Bengal. 



Page 326 : Xeohythites maerops, Giinther, is reported by Alcock from the P>ay of Bengal, 

 Investigator station 115, 180 to 220 fathoms, twenty specimens varying in length from 4 to 

 8i inches having been taken in this locality in 1889 (Alcock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 

 1891, July 30). The Inrestigator also obtained it in the Andaman Sea in 265 to 271 (not 71 

 as stated in text) fathoms. 



Page 328: Bassogigas Gillii. The type specimen is 18 J inches long. 



Bassogigas grandis, Giinther, is represented by a single specimen obtained by the Chal- 

 lenger at station 237, south of Yeddo, near Yokohama, Japan, at a depth of 1,875 fathoms. 



Bassogigas pterotns, Alcock, was obtained by the Inrestigator at a depth of 1,000 

 fathoms, at station 104, in the Laccadive Sea (Alcock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., October, 

 1800, 297), also at station 117, in the Andaman Sea, 1,748 fathoms (Alcock, Ann. and Mag. 

 Nat. Ilist., July, 1891, 30). The specimen obtained at the last station was noteworthy from 

 the fact that its pectoral fin-rays wei"e very prolonged, reaching to the tenth anal ray, while 

 in the female the pectoral fin-rays reached to the first anal ray. 



Bassogigas stclliferoides (= Neobythites stelliferoides, Gilbert, Proc. IT. S. N. M., xiii, 

 1890, 112). Many specimens were obtained from Albatross station 2996, off the coast of 

 southern California, in 112 fathoms.

 Neobythites, Goode and Bean. — Journ. Asiatic Society of Bengal, Lxiii, Part ii. No. 2, p. 9. 



Page 337 : Several small specimens of Dierolene multifilis, Alcock, were obtained by the 

 Investigator at station 120 in the Bay of Bengal, at a depth of 240 to 276 fathoms; also 

 others of both sexes at station 130 of the same vessel in the Bay of Bengal, in 281 to 258 

 fathoms (Alcock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November, 1892, 348). 



A good figure is given in "Illustrations of the Zoology of H. M. S. Investigator,'' Part 

 I, PI. II, fig. 4, Calcutta, 1892. An examination of this figure confirms our opinion that the 

 genus Paradicrolenc of Alcock is precisely equivalent to our I>icrolene.

 and Magazine of Natural History," sixth series, Vol. viii, p. 30.

Dierolene Vaillanti, Alcock, was taken by the Investigator in the Laccadive Sea, station 

 105, 740 fathoms.

 type species. 



In addition to the specimen recorded, the Inrestigator obtained another, 6^ inches in 

 length, in the Bay of Bengal, at station 112, in 561 fathoms (Alcock, Ann. and 3Iag. Nat. 

 Hist., July, 1891," 29).
