PATAGONIAN REGION 141 



Professor M. L. Plate of the University of Berlin made important collections in 

 Chile, Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego during the years 1893 to 1895, which were 

 studied by Steindachner (1898, 1903). 1 The following species were added to the 

 Patagonian fauna: 



Raja magellanica, Steindachner. 



Galaxias platei, Steindachner. 



Notothenia modesta, Steindachner (N. cormicola). 



Notothenia acuta, Giinther (N. canina). 



Clinus geniguttatus, Cuvier and Valenciennes (Calliclinus geniguttatus). 



Lycodes (Phucocoetes) platei, Steindachner (Austrolycus laticinctus). 



Platea insignis, Steindachner. 



The scientific expedition to Tierra del Fuego (1895 to 1897), with the Chilean vessels 

 ' Condor ' and ' Huemul ', under the direction of Dr O. Nordenskiold, obtained a number 

 of fishes from this region, which were described by Smitt (1897, 1899). The following 

 were new to the region : 



Notothenia tessellata forma canina, Smitt (N. canina). 



Dissostichus eleginoides, Smitt. 



Tripterygium entitling ha mi, Smitt. 



Phucocoetes variegatus elongatus, Smitt (Iluocoetes elongatus). 



Atherinichthys regia (Humboldt) (Aiistromenidia smitti). 



The Belgian Antarctic Expedition, with the S.Y. 'Belgica' under the command of 

 A. de Gerlache de Gomery, during the years 1897 to 1899, obtained a few fishes from 

 the Patagonian region, which were reported upon by Dollo (1904). He records one 

 species not previously reported from the region : 

 Notothenia coriiceps, Richardson (N. cornucola). 



In 1899 and 1900 Mr Barnum Brown made a small collection of fishes in Patagonia 

 and Tierra del Fuego for the American Museum of Natural History, which were dealt 

 with by Hussakof (19 14). There were no new Patagonian species in this collection. 



In 1900, the late Mr Rupert Vallentin sent a few fishes from the Falkland Islands 

 to the British Museum, which were studied by Boulenger (1900). One new species 

 was described: 



Lycodes flavus, Boulenger (Phucocoetes latitans). 



The Swedish South Polar Expedition, with the 'Antarctic', under the direction of 

 Dr O. Nordenskiold, during the years 1901 to 1903, obtained a number of fishes from 

 Tierra del Fuego and adjacent seas, and from the Falkland Islands and the Burdwood 

 Bank. These were reported upon by Lonnberg (1905), and the following species added 

 to the list: 



Muraenolepis martnoratus microps, Lonnberg (M. microps). 

 Macrurus sp. (conf. holotrachys, Giinther) (Coelorhynchus holotrachys). 

 Notothenia brevicauda, Lonnberg. 

 N. karlandriae, Lonnberg (TV. sitna). 



1 The zoological results of Professor Plate's expedition were published in four supplementary volumes 

 of the Zoolvgische Jahrbiicher, under the general title of "Fauna Chilensis".
