510 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. 



AlepocephaluH cdentulns, Alcock {loc. cit., 358, PI. xviii, fig. 2), was described from a 

 single s])eciiuen, an iinmatnre male, nearly 3 inclies long, obtained by the Investigator at 

 station 133, in the Bay of Bengal, at a depth of 47.") fathoms. 



For the second section of the genus, including Alepocephalus Bairdii, Jordan and 

 Evermann propose the generic name MitchilliiKt.

 taken by the Albatrons in 359 to 822 fathoms, in the Santa Barbara (3hannel, California.

Page 43 : Bathi/trocics niicrolepis, described by (Tiinther from the Atlantic, was reported 

 by Alcock from the Indian Ocean. It should be noted, however, that the specimen studied 

 by him was, as he himself says, "very badly mutilated and not unequivocally identifiable" 

 (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., December, 1889, 453).

Page 52: Argentina sialis Gilbert, (Proc. U. S. N. INI., 1890, p. 56) was obtained by the 

 Alb<(tross at station 3077, coast of California, iu 58 iathoms. 



Aftav Argentina add: 



LEUROGLOSSUS, Gilbert. 

 Lcuroglossux, Gilbert, Proc. V. S. Nat. Mus., 1800, xiii, 57. 



Ventrals nearly under middle of dorsal. Mandible with a few weak teeth or none. 

 Premaxillaries toothless. A row of stronger teeth on vomer and front of palatines. 

 Tongue toothless. Pyloric co'ca 9. 



Api>earance of Argentina, but the snout shorter, the maxillary reaching front of eye, 

 and the tongue toothless. 



This genus is represented by the single species, L. stilbiits, of which two specimens 

 were obtained at Albatross stations 2997 and 2998, ott' Lower California, in 221 and 40 

 fathoms. 



Pag(! 53 : Nansenia is a generic name proposed by Jordan and Evermann for il/. groen- 

 landicuin. 



Bafliylagus pacijk-ns, Gilbert. Two specimens were taken by the Albatross off the 

 coast of Washington, at stations 3071 and 3074, in 085 and 877 fathoms (Proc. U. S. N. M., 

 XIII, 1890, 55). 



Page 58: Bathysaurus fero.r. To the synonymy add: 

 Bathiisaurm obluslrostii$,\Aii,\^\-s-r, Exj). Sol. Trav. et Tal., 136, 386, PI. x, lig. 2, PI. xiv, fig. 3. 



Page 59 : Harpodon squamosiis, Alcock, is fully described in the "Annals and Magazine 

 of Natural History," August, 1891, p. 128. 



Balliysaurus obtnsirostris, Yaillant (Exi^. Sci. Trarailleur and Talisman), is supposed 

 by him to be closely allied to B, mollis described by Giiuther, from the Pacific, basing his 

 oijinion upon the i)resence of an adipose dorsal fin in />'. mollis and its absence in B. ferox. 

 It is not impossible, however, that the supposed absence of this fm in the latter may be 

 due to the mutilation of the few specimens in existence.
