NOTOTHENIIDAE 



87 



Falklands and the Straits of Magellan, including the types of the species and the types 

 of N. virgata and N. marginata. 



Hussakof records an example collected on 25 May, 1899, which was greatly distended 

 with eggs, and Lonnberg mentions a ripe female caught in the month of September. 

 Assuming that these identifications were correct, this species would seem to have an 

 extended breeding season.
