 Liimproiiiiimmiix iraijUia, AlcOCK, .\iim, and Ma;;. Nat. Hist., Nov., 1892, 348. 



A new species, represented by a single male specimen. 10 inclies long, obtained l>y the 

 In ri'stif/dtor at station 133, in the Bay of Bengal, at a depth of 678 fathoms. Alcock suggests 

 that it is possible that this specimen may be the male of L. niger, described from three 

 female specimens jjreviously studied, although data ar<' not sutTicient to determine the fact. 



Lamprogrammiis niger, Alcock. A good figure is given in " Illustratious of the Zoology 

 of H. M. S. Investigator,''^ Part i, PI. i, lig. 1, Calcutta, 18i)2. 



Page 345: Ophidiitm vnira'noh'pis. (Hinther (Challenger Ileport, vi, 4(>, PI. xx, Fig. A; 

 XXII, 208). Specimens were obtained by the Challenger off the Ki Islands, at station 192, 

 in 129 or 140 fathoms. 



Lepiophidium. Four species of this genus were described by Gilbert from the Albatross 

 explorations on the coast of southern California, as follows: 



L. pardale, Gilbert (Proc. U. S. N. M., xili, 1890, 108). A single sjiecimeu, station 3014, 

 in 29 fathoms. 



L. microhpis, Gilbert (loc. cit., 109). yeveral specimens from AUxdross stations .3015 

 and ,3016, in 145 and 70 fathoms. 



L. stigmatistinm, Gilbert {loc. vit., 109). A single specimen from Albatross station 

 2996, in 112 fathoms. 



L. emmelas, Gilbert {loc. ait., 110). Many specimens from Albatross stations .3007 and 

 3008, in 302 and 300 fathoms.

 Zoology of H. M. S. Inrestigator,'" Part I, PI. ii, tig. 2, Calcutta, 1892. 



Page 354: Merlangus vulgaris occurs in 90 fathoms in the Clyde Sea area (Linn. Soc. 

 Journ. Zool., xx, 446). 



Melanogrammus a'glefinns is found at 90 fathoms in the same region. 



Page 355: Gadiciiliis argentens. Note the extended discussions by Bellotti in the Atti 

 Soc. Ital. Sci. Nat., Milan, January 26, 1879. He identifies specimens obtained by him from 

 the Gulf of Naples with the types of G. argenteus, collected by Guichenot in Algiers. 



Micromesistlus poutassou. Vinciguerra obtained two specimens in the Gulf of Genoa, 

 July 26, 1879, at a depth of about 600 meters (Crociere delle Violante, 86). 



Page 357 : Pliycis hlenn ioides (Briinnich ), Schneider. A specimen was taken by the Rev. 

 Mr. Green off the southwest coast of Ireland at a depth of 150 fathoms (Giinther, Ann. 

 and Mag. Nat. Hist., November, 1889, 417). This ob.servation connects similar ones on the 

 coast'of Scandinavia and ott' Spain and Portugal. Vinciguerra obtained about thirty exam- 

 ples of this species in the Gulf of Genoa, July 10, 1879, at a depth of about 000 meters, and 

 in June of the same year a considerable number of others, at a depth of 90 meters in the 

 .same region. 



Page 365: Physiculus. Gilbert has described two species of this genus from the Alba- 

 tross explorations off the southern coast of California, as follows: 



r. rastrelliger, Gilbert (Proc. U. S. N. M., xiii, 1890, 113). Many specimens from sta- 

 tions 3045 and 2987, in 184 and 171 fathoms. 



P. nematopus, Gilbert [loc cit., 114). Many specimens from stations 2997,3011, 3015, 

 and 3016, in 71 to 221 fathoms. 



P. roseus, Alcock (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., July, 1891, 28), is represented by a single 

 specimen, 7 inches in length, obtained by the Inrestigator in the Bay of Bengal, at station 

 115, in 188 to 220 fathoms. It has the short dorsal nearest to that of P. peregrinus, and the 

 short anal nearest to that of P.fulvus. 



Page 365: Physiculus argyropastus, Alcock (Journ. A.siatic Society of Bengal, 1893, 

 LXii, PI. II, 180, PI. IX, fig. 2; 1894, Lxiii, Part ii. No. 2, p. 7), was obtained by the Investi- 

 gator in the Bay of Bengal at 162 and 170 fathoms. Alcock, at the reference last cited, 

 gives a table of characters separating the two Indian Ocean species.
