608 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. 



The s<iu(tli(x iiyatun of Eafiiiesqiie was deseribort from Sicily, where tlie fisliernien of 

 Palermo call it. tlie T^yatu; Cenfropliorus ui/nlii.s sbotiUl then be the name of this species. 



A specimen was taken by Vinciguerra in the Gulf of Genoa, July, 1879, at a depth of 

 GOO meters (Urociere delle Violaute, 1883, 18). 



Ccntropliorun foUacem^ Giinther (Challenger Eeport, xxii, 5, PI. ii, fig. a) was from 

 station 232, off' Inosima, Japan, at a deptla of 245 fathoms. 



C. nqHamidosus, Giinther {loc. cit., PI. ii, fig. b) was from the same locality as the 

 preceding. 



Page 14: VenlrosrymnuR crclolcpls. A female containing five ftrtuses was taken at Nice 

 in 1883 by the Gal Brothers, and is now iu the museum at Florence (Bellotti, Appunti all' 

 Opera del Dottor Emilio Moreau, Milan, 1891, 113; Moreau, Hist. Nat. Poiss., France, 

 Supjd. 9). Another was taken a few days before. 



These captures show that this shark is an inhabitant of the Mediterranean. It will 

 l)robably be found abundant in 200 to 600 fathoms, especially in the western part of this sea.

Scylliorhiniis retifer, Jordan and Gilbert, Bull, xvi, U. S. Nat. Mu8., 869. 



Sci/lliorhiiius hispidus (Alcock) [Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., August, 1891, 21] was obtained 

 by the Tmesth/ator in the Andaman Sea, station 11.5, 188 to 222 fathoms. 



ScyUiorliiniis canescciis (Giinther) [Challenger Report, X\ii, PI. i, fig. a] was obtained 

 by the Challenger at station 310, off the southwest coast of South America in 400 fathoms.

Page 18: Pseudotriaeis microdon. This species was first made known by Cajjello from 

 a single specimen obtained at Setubal in 18(J7. None have since been recorded from 

 Portugal (Peixesde Portugal, 1880, 44). 



Page 20: Pristiiirus melanostomun, Vinciguerra obtained sixty-six specimens, nearly 

 all females, in the Gulf of Genoa, July 26, 1879, at a depth of about 600 meters (Crociere 

 delle Violaute, 18). The Rev. W. Spottswood Green obtained a young specimen at a depth 

 of 150 tathoms off the southwest coast of Ireland in July, 1889 (Giinther, Ann. and Mag. 

 Nat. Hist., Dec., 1889, 415). 



Page 24: Chlamydoselaclms angmneun. Collett has recently announced the very sur- 

 prising fact of the occurrence of this form at Madeira, where the Prince of Monaco obtained 

 a young female, 610 millimeters long, in March, 1889, thus bringing this strange family and 

 genus into the Atlantic, (Collett, Bull. Soc. Zool. France, 1890, 219). 



Raia ixotrachys (Challenger Report, xxii, 7, PI. in) was from Challenger station 235, 

 south of Japan, in 365 fathoms. 



Page 25: Raia lintea, Friea. Collett reports that several individuals were taken at 

 Ja?deren's Rev, at about 100 fathoms depth, and that its northern limit is about N. lat. 59° 

 (Christ. Vid. Selsk. Forh., 1882, No. 29, 4). 



Raia mamillidens, Alcock (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November, 1889, 380; 111. Zool. 

 Investigator, FishcA, PI. viii, fig. 1). was taken by the Inrestigator iu the Gulf of Manaar, 

 N. lat. CO 29', E. Ion. 79° 34', at a depth of 597 fathoms. 



Raia radiata. Collett reports this species along the entire Icngtli of the Norwegian 

 coast to the Russian boundary, and that it is numerous in the fiords of Finmark. Its 

 northern limit is the northwest coast of Spitzbergen, N. lat. 80°. The greatest (lei>th at 

 whi(-h it has been found is 450 fathoms (Collett, Christ. Vid. Selsk. Forh., 1882, No. 29, 3). 



Page 27 : Raia circularis. Collett reports that this species is found on the coast of 

 Norway at depths of 100 to 300 fathoms, and that its northern limit is about N. lat. 59° 

 (Christ. Vid. Selsk. Forh., 1882, No. 29, 4). 



Raia senta, Garman, (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., viii, 1885, p. 43), was taken on Le Have 

 Banks, and is doul)(less hemibathybial in its distribution. 



Raia alqutica, Gilbert and Thoburn (ISull. U. S. Fish Com., 1894), was taken in 81 

 fathoms, south of Uualaska,, and is also doubtless hemibathybial.
