444 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. 



n. S. N. M., from station 878, in 39° 55' N. lat., 70° 54' 15" W. Ion., at a deptli of 142J 

 fathoms; Cat. No. 26127, U. S. N. M., from station S73, in 40° 02' N. lat., 70" 57' W. Ion., at 

 a depth of 100 fatlioms, and Cat. No. 2G121, U. S. N. M., from station 877, in 39° 50' N. lat. 

 70° 54' 18" AV. Ion., at a deptli of 126 fathoms. Numfrons specimens taken by the Fish 

 Hawk on iSepteuiher 4, 1880, ranoed in length from 90 to 140 meters Tlie females were 

 full of ripe spawn. It is not probable, therefore, that the average size of the species is 

 nnu^h greater than that of the specimens described.

 2 inches, from station cccxiii, olf Charleston, S. C, in 75 fathoms; 3 specimens, badly mu- 

 tilated, from station cccxxxvi, in 38° 21' N. lat., 73° 32' W. Ion., at a depth of 197 fathoms;
