512 DEEl'-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC 15ASIN. 



Page 7!): Mi/ctopliiim Toicnutindi, Eigeumann, is pronounced by .lordan and E\ernuuui 

 to be closely allied to Lampamjctus olatus, thougb a distinct species. 



Page 80: Ltutipnuyctus Warnmigii was fonnd by Professor Warming in lat. 32° 0' N., 

 Ion. 3!)= 28' W. 



Page 82: Xotoscopehis. Tills genus was first described by Eisso under the name 

 m<ti-rosio»i(i, wliicli being virtually i)reoccupied in entomology in tlie form Mamtstomiis, we 

 unhesitatingly reject. 



Page 83: The Macrostoma (Dujitstidms of Risso (Hist. Nat. Eur. Merit., ii, 448), although 

 doubtless of this genus, can not, in our Judgment, be identified at present with any si)ecics. 



j\'otosv<)peh(>! (juercinux. This species is very close. to the >Scopi'li(s- clongatu.s of Giglioli 

 and Kafaelle, which can not be far away from that of Costa. We are disposed to believe 

 with Bellotti (Atti 8oc. Ital. Soc. Nat., Milan, 1892, 32; Note al Manuale-d' Ittiologia.Francese 

 del ])()tt. Kinilio Moreau, 1(5) that the Scopeliis pscudocrocodiliis ot"S\i>Yei\n (Hist. Nat. Poiss. 

 France, Supp., 1891, 84; Manuel d'Ichthyologie Fran(;aise, 1895, i)H'>) is identical with Costa's 

 S. ('Ion<iaii(s. 



Page 88: Collcttia iiortunw. Jordan and Everniann decide that Myctophum iiocfiii-iiioii, 

 Poey (Memorias, Hist. Nat. Cuba, ii, 42(5), probably belongs to tlie genus CoJlettui. 



I'age89: Mi/ctophum crenulare. Jordan and Everniann (Proc. U. S. N. M., 1880, 274), 

 from otf Santa Barbara, is now placed by Jordan in the genus Tarlefonbeania. 



Biaphus engraidis, Gilnther. Two specimens, identified by Alcock with this species, 

 were taken by the Investigator in the Bay of Bengal at station 115, in 188 to 220 fathoms 

 (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., August, 1891, 129). Jordan and p]vermann refer Scopeltts 

 cwruleus, Klunzinger, to the genus Diaphu^, and make Myctophum frotorulus, (lilbert 

 (Proc. U. S. N. M., 1890, 52), from Albatross, station 3072, 584 fathoms, off Washington, a 

 synonym of Dinphus theta. 



Page 91: Rliiiioscopclus rarus was found byLiitken's corresponilents iu the Atlantic in 

 the following localities: (1) Lat. 20^ N., Ion. 48O-50o W.; (2)lat. 34° 50' S., Ion., 4° 30' W.; 

 (3) lat. 370 40' S , Ion. 12° E. ; (4) lat. 33° N. ( ?) 



Sroprliis antiin-ticus, Giinther, is figured in Challenger Keport, xxii, PI. Li, Fig. ]). It 

 is perhaps a Ixhbioseopelus. 



Page 92: Scopelus pyrsoholus, Alcock (Scopelus pyrsobolus, Alcock, Ann. and Mag. 

 Nat. Hist., September, 1890, 218, PI. viii, fig. 3, outline). This form was obtaineil by the 

 Investigator ott' the Madras coast at a depth of 690-920 fathoms. It is impossible to tell to 

 what generic or snbgeneric group it belongs, the most important characters having been 

 obliterated before it was studied, but it would seem to resemble in a general way Lioiipadenu.

Viiilliint, Exp. Sci. Trav. et Tal., ll!l, PI. ix, iigs. 2, 2a, 2b. 



According to President Jordan, Stenobraclniis of Eigenmaiiii is a synonym of Nanno- 

 brack ium,thoi\g,h having the dorsal ending over the third or fourth anal ray, and jS. leucop- 

 sarnm is a NannobracMum as well as N. mexicanum, Gilbert (Proc. C S. Nat. Mus., 1890, 

 51), from off' the coast of southern California, and X regale, Gilbert (Proc. IT. S. Nat. 

 Mus., 1891, 541), from the Santa Barbara Channel, California. 



Scopelengys frisij*, Alcock (Hi. Zool. Investigator, Fishes,- PI. vii, fig. 7, Calcutta, 1892) 

 is not a member of the Myctoplridcc, but apparently has affinities with the Aulopida'. 



Page 94: Myctophum leucopsaram, Eigeumann (Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci., 1890, 5), taken oft' 

 Point Loma, Lower California, iu stomachs of 8el)astodes, is pronounced by Jordan, who has 

 seen this tyi^e, to belong to Nannohrachium. Other species of this genus are that described 

 by Gilbert under the name Myctophum nannochir, from Albatross station 3072, oW the coast 

 of Washington, and since found at various points, from the Santa Barbara Islands to Alaska, 

 Myctophum me.iicanum, (Jilbert (Proc. U. S. N. M., 1890, 51), from Albatross stations 3008, 

 3009, oft' Lower ('alifornia, and M. regale, Gilbert, from the Albatross collections in Santa 

 Barbara Channel in OOO to 820 fathoms. 



Pag'e95: The following new arrangement of .l/r(«(o/o(/(/(c will be proposed by Jordan 

 and Evermaun in their new Manual of the Fishes of North America.
