FISHES OF THE GULF OF MAINE 



545 



fathoms, in October 1943, by the schooner Dorothy 

 and Ethel II, Capt. Harold Paulsen. 6 A second 

 female, about 18% inches long to the base of the 

 caudal fin, and about 24% inches counting what 

 was left of the caudal fin, trawled on the southeast 

 part of Georges Bank, between 150 and 200 

 fathoms, in February 1927, appears to belong to 



this same species. 6 A third probable Gulf of 

 Maine record is of a fish, about 3 feet long, and 

 weighing about 20 pounds, that was taken by the 

 trawler Ebb, in 140 fathoms, on Georges Bank, in 

 June 1936. Photographs of it appeared in the 

 Boston Globe and in the Boston Post for June 29 

 of that year.

• This specimen, now in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, was de- 

 scribed by Barbour and Bigelow (Proc. New England Zool. Club, vol. 23, 

 1944. p. 9) as " Reganichihys giganieiK."

• This specimen, now in the Mus. Comp. Zool., and first described by Parr 

 (Bull. 63, Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., 1932, pp. 12-13) as Mancalia) uranotcovut, 

 was later made the basis of a new genus, Typhloccratias, by Barbour (Proc. 

 New England Zool. Club, vol. 21, 1940, p. 78). Its head and back have been 

 so badly damaged that it has lost whatever tentacular structures it may have 

 had originally.
