DISCOVERY REPORTS 



MYXINIDAE 

 Eptatretus hexatrema (Miiller). 



Barnard, 1925, Ann. S. Afr. Mus., xxi, p. 16. 



St. 90. lo-ii. vii. 26. Large gauze fish-trap, 10 m.: 2 specimens, 460, 610 mm. 



SCYLIORHINIDAE 



Scyliorhinus (Scyliorhinus) capensis (Miill. and Henle). 

 Barnard, 1925, Ann. S. Afr. Mus., xxi, p. 40. 

 St. B. I female specimen, 570 mm. 



Scyliorhinus (Halaelurus) regani, Gilchrist. 

 Barnard, t.c, p. 42. 

 St. A. I male specimen, 540 mm. 



This species, which was not previously represented in the British Museum collection,

Scyliorhinus (Apristurus) saldanha, Barnard. 

 Barnard, t.c, p. 44. 

 St. J. I male specimen, 430 mm., 2 females, 385, 415 mm. 



These specimens agree fairly well with Barnard's description of S. saldanha. This 

 species is apparently very close to S. profundorum, Goode and Bean, from the North 

 Atlantic, and S. indicus, Brauer, from the Indian Ocean.

Mustelus canis (Mitchill). 



Barnard, 1925, Ann. S. Afr. Mus., xxi, p. 30. 

 St. D. I young female specimen, 290 mm. (removed from a specimen, loio mm. long). 



SQUALIDAE 

 Squalus acanthias, Linn. 



Barnard, 1925, Ann. S. Afr. Mus., xxi, p. 47.
