The fishes of Tierra del Fuego, Staaten Island and 



adjacent seas. 



The collection from this district comprises only 12 species, but there are some 

 novelties among these, viz. a new species of Notothenia, a geographic subspecies of 

 Murœnolepis martnoratiis GÜNTHER and a young Macrurus which perhaps is new, 

 but which I do not want to name on account of the scantiness of the material. 

 Whether representing a new species or not, it is certainly new to the locality. The 

 other species are all of them recorded from the Magellan district before. 



An interesting collection from Tekenika Bay was among the lost treasures.
